Love was when God became a man
Locked in time and space without rank
or place Love was God born of Jewish kin,
Just a carpenter with some fishermen.
Hymn 607-2
1b
愛就是耶穌行走於歷史，
祂帶來新生，祂日日恩賜；
愛就是主流血捨身，
為拯救並愛如我罪人。
Love was when Jesus walked in history -
Lovingly He brought a new life that’s free;
Love was God nailed to bleed and die
To reach and love one such as I.
Hymn 607-3
2a
愛就是神降卑為人，
好使我得見祂愛我何深；
愛就是主為我受死，
當我被罪捆，欲脫無望時；
Love was when God became a man Down where
I could see love that reached to me;
Love was God dying for my sin
And so trapped was I my whole world caved in.
Hymn 607-4
2b
愛就是復活主與我同行，
祂日日賜我自由新生命；
愛就是惟有神竟肯
來拯救並愛如我罪人。
Love was when Jesus rose to walk with me –
Lovingly He brought a new life that’s free;
Love was God – only He would try
To reach and love one such as I.
