And George was a [G] preacher [D] and he was also a singer.
And George realized that he [G] wanted a greater understanding of the cross.
[B] _ [D] And so I wanted to [Cm] share this with you.
[C] _ _ I was praying for a full understanding of the cross.
[D] I read and studied and prayed.
_ [G] The Christ of the [Am] cross became more [G] than a symbol.
_ It was like seeing John 3 16 leave the printed [C] page,
[D] take form [G] and act out [C] the meaning [G] of redemption.
_ _ While watching [C] this scene with my mind's eye,
the theme of the song came to me.
[D] _
_ _ [G] What a [D] gift God gave George in that moment.
_ A song that has touched millions and millions and millions of people around [D] the world.
I know it's touched me.
[C] _ _ _ And so [Am] I just encourage [G] us to think about the true meaning of the cross
[D] and what God did for us.
[G] And cling to the words of John [D] 3 16.
_ _ For [G] God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, _
that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but [D] have everlasting life.
_ _ _ What a gift God gave to us.
[G] _ _ [D] I hope you enjoyed this.
If you did, please share it with a friend.
