When He Made Love
Tina Marie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse:]
His back was torn, his hands were nailed thorns on his head, his side, burned and bled
His eyes lifted up to the father above and when he made him die,
That's when he made love

[Chorus:]
He made love asking father,
Why hadst thou forsaken me?
He made love though the
Angels could've come and set him free he walked through the grave
'Til the victory was won
Sent our sins on the wings of a dove, that's when he made love.

[Verse 2:]
Through the years he's the same
Yesterday and today
Forever he gives life by his grace sovereign and mighty, oh his lamb was enough to sacrifice for this world,
When jesus made love
(Repeat chorus 2 times)

Tag:
Sent our sins on the wings of a dove,




That's when he made love
M m m m he made love

Overall Meaning

Tina Marie's song "When He Made Love" is a powerful gospel ballad that delves into the story of Jesus Christ's crucifixion and ultimate sacrifice. The song opens with powerful imagery of Christ's physical suffering on the cross. His back was torn, his hands were nailed, thorns on his head, and his side had burned and bled. Yet even in his final moments, Christ's eyes lifted up to the Father above. This is where the song takes a unique turn. Tina Marie refers to Christ's death as the moment when "he made love," and the chorus repeats this phrase throughout the song.


The chorus of "When He Made Love" further explores the meaning behind this phrase. Christ's sacrifice on the cross was an act of love for all humanity, and as he asked the Father why he had been forsaken, he still chose to make love. The angels could have come to set him free, but he "walked through the grave 'til the victory was won" and sent our sins on the wings of a dove. This final line ties back to the concept of love, as Christ's love for humanity was so powerful that his death was able to wash away our sins.


The second verse of the song is a simpler reflection on Christ's continuing presence in the world. He remains constant through the years, giving life through his grace. The final chorus repeats the same powerful refrain, emphasizing the finality and importance of Christ's sacrifice in bringing love to the world. The song concludes with a final repetition of the line "That's when he made love," reinforcing the idea that Christ's death on the cross was not only an act of sacrifice but also an expression of deep and powerful love.
