[Verse 1]
Classic mono voice
through the static haze
You wrote this love
for the broken and glazed
Hands in the dust
still You called us home
One story burning
through the speaker cone
[Pre-Chorus]
And the room goes higher
when Your name gets near
Every hard old wall
turns to open air
We were far, far gone
but You stepped in close
Now the whole wide world
knows what mercy knows
[Chorus]
For God so loved the world
For God so loved the world
He gave His only Son
(He gave His only Son)
For God so loved the world
For God so loved the world
The greatest story ever told
(The greatest story ever told)
[Verse 2]
Mended hearts and scars
on the city floor
Bitter mouths went quiet
when You opened the door
Ashes to a crown
sinners to Your song
Every chain fell down
when Your love came strong
[Pre-Chorus]
And the room goes higher
when Your name gets near
Every hard old wall
turns to open air
We were far, far gone
but You stepped in close
Now the whole wide world
knows what mercy knows
[Chorus]
For God so loved the world
For God so loved the world
He gave His only Son
(He gave His only Son)
For God so loved the world
For God so loved the world
The greatest story ever told
(The greatest story ever told)
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
Scratchy voice, say it slow
He did what love would do
Dark to dawn, death to life
Now we run to You
Broken sky, open grave
Nothing holds us down
Jesus, risen King
Shake the whole house now
[Final Chorus]
For God so loved the world
For God so loved the world
He gave His only Son
(He gave His only Son)
For God so loved the world
For God so loved the world
The greatest story ever told
(The greatest story ever told)
For God so loved the world
For God so loved the world
