Matt Redman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is how we know what love is
Just one look at Your cross
And this is where we see
This is where we see how love works
For You surrendered Your all
And this is how we know
This is where we chose
To love You in return
For You so loved the world
That You gave Your only Son
Love amazing, so divine
We will love You in return
For this life that You give
For this death that You have died
Love amazing, so divine
We will love You in reply, Lord
This is how we know
This is how we know what love is
Just one look at Your cross
And this is where we see
This is where we see how love works
For You surrendered Your all
And this is how we know
That You have loved us first
This is where we chose
To love You in return
For You so loved the world
That You gave Your only Son
Love amazing, so divine
We will love You in return
For this life that You give
For this death that You have died
Love amazing, so divine
We will love You in reply, Lord
Our love will be loud
Our love will be strong
Our love shall be hands and feet
That serve You in this world
So let us stay true
And let it endure
That You will be glorified
And worshiped and adored
For You so loved the world
That You gave Your only Son
Love amazing, so divine
We will love You in return
For this life that You give
For this death that You have died
Love amazing, so divine
We will love You in reply, Lord
Savior of the world

The image of the cross is a powerful symbol of God's love for humanity, as it represents the ultimate act of self-sacrifice. The singer goes on to say that it is through the cross where we see how love works, and this is precisely what Jesus did for us.

This love is amazing and divine, and in response to it, we will love Him.
The song also speaks of the impact of this love on our lives. We're called to be a reflection of God's love in the world, and our love should be loud, strong, and evident in our actions. The lyrics stress the importance of remaining true to this love, which endures and brings glory to God. The song reminds us that we can love Him because He first loved us.
