John 3:16

From heaven’s heart, a gift was freely given, A love so vast, it opens wide the gate of heaven. He sent His Son to walk this earthly sod, To bear our pain, to show the way to God. Whoever trusts, no darkness need they fear, For hope and life eternal now draw near. No soul is lost who looks upon the cross, For grace redeems what once was bound in loss. So let us cling to mercy’s gentle light, And live in love that makes the whole world right.
