**Verse 1**
In this was manifested love divine,
God sent His only Son for all mankind,
That we might live through Him, new life begun,
A gift of grace, the Father’s only Son.
**Chorus**
Herein is love, not that we loved first,
But God loved us and saw our deepest thirst,
He sent His Son to bear our every sin,
O let His boundless love now dwell within.
**Verse 2**
Beloved, if God so loved us,
Let us love each other as He loves,
His mercy calls us, shining from above,
To live in kindness, unity, and love.
**Bridge**
His love revealed, His grace displayed,
Through Jesus Christ, our debt was paid,
Now as He loves, so let us be,
A light of love for all to see.
**Chorus**
Herein is love, not that we loved first,
But God loved us and saw our deepest thirst,
He sent His Son to bear our every sin,
O let His boundless love now dwell within.
**Outro**
Beloved, if God so loved us,
We ought also to love one another.
