What Love Is (Because You Died)

Words and Music by Joel Houston

VERSE 1:
I don’t have the mind
To understand
The weight of Your glory
Or what it takes to author
The origin of light
Or the mystery of life
Or the heart just to love me
But this much I know

CHORUS:
Everything I have
Is because
You died for me
And nothing in this world
Could ever take that much from me

VERSE 2:
I don’t have the heart
To measure up against
All the pressure
But all my strength exists
In the confidence I find
In the thrill of Your desire
And the power of Your presence
So my soul will sing

POST-CHORUS 1:
Everything else comes down to this
I know Your love is why my soul exists
Nothing on earth compares
To the confidence I find
In the thrill of Your desire
And the power of Your presence
So my soul will sing

POST-CHORUS 2:
And I
I know what love is
Oh the wonder of the blood
Oh the kindness of Your heart
To save my soul

And I
I know You set me free
And it wrecks me to the bone
You died that I should know
You love me so
