Basis of Love Lyrics

Basis of Love
It’s just the way we know it, you could say that it’s engrained
Yeah, we must work to prove ourselves for everything we gain
And though I don’t deserve it Jesus went against the grain
When he never asked a thing of me before offering His grace
Giving me what I’m not worthy of—-on the basis of love
Chorus:
On the basis of love God gave His son
on the basis of love life has been won
Saved and forgiven, finished and done and
we’ll live for Him on the basis of love

We work and give, we go to church, righteous in our eyes
thinking that we’ll measure up— believe our own lies
But still the need to offer exchanges for His grace
but who has given the gift to Him that he might be repaid
When His blood shed on the cross it fell on us —-on the basis of love
