Lyrics
What made God take so much care
To make creation glow?
He could have made it black and white
And we'd have never known.
And what made God send Jesus
To die on Calvary?
Of course it was this joyous thing
I feel inside of me
That's the love of God
It's never ending
That's the love of God
Always forgiving
He's always there, He never fails, all He will do is love forever
And He loves to share it
That's the love of God
He can change a family
He's already changed the world
When Jesus brings it to a heart
Heaven's banner is unfurled
And once you start to share it
In His precious name
You're glad to see your view of life
Will never be the same
That's the love of God
It's never ending
That's the love of God
Always forgiving
He's always there, He never fails, all He will do is love forever
And He loves to share it
That's the love of God
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
That's the love of God
It's never ending
That's the love of God
Always forgiving
He's always there, He never fails, all He will do is love forever
And He loves to share it, And He loves to share it
That's the love of God
That's the love of God
That's the love of God!

Meaning & Inspiration
“That’s the Love of God” celebrates divine love through creation, Calvary, forgiveness, and transformed lives. The opening contrasts the richness of creation with a colorless world, presenting beauty as one sign of God’s generous care. Its central claim then turns to Jesus’ death at Calvary, grounding the song’s joy in sacrificial love rather than a passing emotion. The chorus emphasizes a love that continues, forgives, and never fails.
The later verses move from personal experience to the effect of that love within families and across the world. Sharing it in Jesus’ name is portrayed as a natural response to receiving it, and changed vision becomes evidence of a changed heart. The repeated chorus gives the song a simple, celebratory shape while holding together several biblical themes: God’s enduring faithfulness, forgiveness through Christ, and love expressed toward others. Its focus is praise for a love presented as active, generous, and available.
