Some would search the seven seas and cross the great divide

To find the perfect ecstasy to fill the heart and mind
Body and soul we search for meaning before learning just what love is

Some would say a sudden flame, a passion prone to passing
To others just a distant dream never meant for them
So many souls would find their meaning if they first would learn what love is

Chorus:
What is love? To lay your life down to save another
What is love? To give yourself to those who don't deserve
When mercy smoothes the furrowed brow of justice
We will understand what love is

Jesus calmed the stormy seas and crossed the great divide
He's the perfect ecstasy to fill the heart and mind
Body and soul the search is over, we found Jesus, He's what love is

CHORUS (2x)

It took love like this to make us His
Jesus came to show us just what love is

Refrain:
What is love? To lay your life down to save another
What is love? To give yourself to those who don't deserve

Repeat REFRAIN ad lib and fade
