[Verse 1]
Scrollin through my phone in the midnight
Timeline full of flex and the fake fights
Everybody chasin blue check highlights
Still feel broke in the bright lights
Mama had a Bible on the kitchen chair
Said, “Baby, He was thinkin of you there”
One cross, one hill, one choice made
All of that weight on a wood frame
[Chorus]
For God so loved this world, this world (yeah)
Every single messed-up boy and girl
From backroads dust to the downtown scene
He gave His Son to wash us clean
For God so loved this world, this world (hey)
Not just the saints, but the ones who fell
You ain’t too far, you ain’t too gone
That kinda love just brings you home
[Verse 2]
Tattoo on my arm, but it’s inked hearts
Church kids, street kids, same scars
Country boy dreams with a city grind
Tryna hide pain in the good times
But He sees that fear in the group chat
Knows what you hide in the snapback
Laid down His life, didn’t hold back
Opened that grave like a new track
[Chorus]
For God so loved this world, this world (oh)
Every late-night sinner, Sunday girl
From lifted trucks to the subway seats
He gave His Son so our hearts beat
For God so loved this world, this world
Took all the shame, gave grace instead
You ain’t too far, you ain’t too gone
That kinda love just brings you home
[Bridge]
Yeah, He loved you first
At your worst, at your lowest, at your hurt (yeah)
You can run that track, but you can’t outrun
What started and finished in the Father’s Son
Hands in the air like a touchdown
Heaven got joy when you turn round
Grace in the dirt, right where we stand
Nailed our past in His pierced hands
[Chorus]
For God so loved this world, this world (sing)
Every lost one livin on the brink
From small-town bars to the high-rise suites
He gave His Son, took our defeat
For God so loved this world, this world
Not just the saints, but the ones who fell
You ain’t too far, you ain’t too gone
That kinda love just brings you home (yeah)
