Your Love
The Ambassador Lyrics

You cried for the broken
You felt the pain of those who were shattered beyond repair

You lived for the hopeless
You existed to give hope to those who were completely desolate

You died for the guilty so that we could be righteous
You sacrificed your own life for those who were deserving of judgment, so that they could be made right with God

You took away the shame
You removed the embarrassment and guilt that weighed heavy on our hearts

You wiped the tears away
You literally dried our tears and comforted us in our sorrow

And I am amazed, oh yeah, of your love for me
I am in awe of the immense amount of love you have for me, despite my flaws and shortcomings

Anybody ever tell you that they love you? Of course they have
People say 'I love you' all the time, but often their actions don't reflect that sentiment

It's almost automatic, we all endorse the habit
Saying 'I love you' has become so commonplace that it's almost a reflex, and we all agree that it's a good thing to do

We say it but don't display it, we can do better
We talk about love, but we don't always show it through our actions, and we have the capability to improve

It's just a few letters until it gets some shoe leather
Saying 'I love you' is easy, but it's not until we act on that love that it really means something

Love saw me in the deepest hole
God's love reached out to me when I was in my lowest point

Started reachin', you ask if I was seekin'? No
God's love pursued me, even when I wasn't actively searching for Him

I was sinkin' low, on the brink of throwin' in the towel
I was struggling and close to giving up entirely

But the Judge saved me and his love bathed me
God, the ultimate Judge, saved me from my sins and covered me with His love

Bug maybe, but I'm clean and that's a love baby
I may have been insignificant or unimportant before, but now I am clean and that transformation is evidence of God's love

It's not a diva, gets biz like a beaver
God's love isn't self-centered or selfish, but it actively works and accomplishes things like a busy beaver

Sees a need and sleeves roll up like Wiz Khalifa
God's love sees a need and actively does something about it, like rolling up one's sleeves to work

But this is neither, that's meager
God's love surpasses human acts of kindness or charity

I'm talkin' love off the meter and that's Jesus
I'm talking about an incredible amount of love that can't be measured, and that is exemplified by Jesus

So when it comes, see our love and we got a lot to say
When people witness the love we have because of God, we have a lot to share and testify about

Put this in your ear bud like headphones from Dr. Dre
Listen closely to what we're saying, like putting on headphones to listen to music

Had you locked away, stuck you in a rocky cave
Sin had trapped us and left us hopeless, like being stuck in a dark cave

Put you in a tomb and took the stone went and blocked the grave
Sin had effectively killed us and left us in a tomb, seemingly beyond rescue

They assumed that you had up and gone away
People assumed that God had abandoned us and left us to our own devices

I see the truth, it was you up and haunted me
The reality was that God was pursuing us all along, even in our darkest moments

It all new so when they moved and pulled the rock away
When the tomb was opened and Jesus had risen from the dead, everything changed

Found it all empty 'cause we have all gone astray
Our sins had left the tomb empty and we were lost without God

But simply you give me love and I gots to say
But simply, God gives us love and we have to acknowledge it and express our gratitude

You're enough for the junk that I gots to face
God is sufficient to help us face the difficulties and challenges of life

You are the Son who gives light into the darkest day
Jesus, the Son of God, is the source of light and hope even in the darkest of times

Stop the funeral, said you'd fall away
God's love brings life and hope, and He promised that even death wouldn't defeat Him

My life is changed, went from sin to godly
God's love has transformed my life from one of sin and despair to one of righteousness and godliness

You promised sins are all yes not "sorta, prob'ly"
God has completely forgiven our sins, not just partially or sometimes

It's most def like the other dude down with Kweli
God's love is definitely real and tangible, just like another artist who collaborates with rapper Talib Kweli

It's no death 'cause he cured, now with how you got me
Because Jesus conquered death through His resurrection, there is no need to fear it, and God's love has captured me completely
