Lyrics
Verse 1
I remember when I was just a kid
Mama knelt by my bed
Prayed the Lord my soul to keep
We'd fold our hands and read the red
I felt tied to what they said
Every word from John 3:16
We'd sing Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
And I still believe it today
Chorus
For God so loved you and me
He gave His only Son to set us free
He bled and died
He gave His life for the whole wide world
Who is this good news for?
The whole wide world
Verse 2
Are you a weary soul?
Have you been told there's no hope for you?
You're just too far out of reach
Just hit your knees and read the red
He'll meet you there just like He said
For all who would trust and believe
Chorus
For God so loved you and me
He gave His only Son to set us free
He bled and died
He gave His life for the whole wide world
Who is this good news for?
The whole wide world
Bridge
For the outcast, the searching, the lost and the hurt
Who feel that love has passed them by
For the broken, the lonely, He is the only
Way and the truth and the life
Chorus
For God so loved you and me
He gave His only Son to set us free
He bled and died
He gave His life for the whole wide world
Who is this good news for?
The whole wide world
Outro
Who is this good news for?
For the whole wide world
Who is this good news for?
The whole wide world
