It Had To Be Love
by The Speers

Love is not love
til it's given away
A gift is not a gift
til it's received
and God gave His son
as a token of love
The gift of salvation
to those who believe
It started with a walk
(Started with a walk)
Up Calvary's hill
(up dark Calvary's hill)
With a heavy load
(With a heavy cross)
To obey His Father's will
(to obey His Father's will)
I'm so glad He made a way
with His crimson flow
It had to be love
(it had to be love)
It had to be love
(it had to be love)

Chorus:
It had to be love
(it had to be love)
It had to be love
(it had to be love)
For on the cross
(for on the cross our sins he bore)
(our sins he bore)
Such compassion did He show
(Compassion He showed)
When to Calvary He did go
(To Calvary did go)
It had to be love
(it had to be love)
(It had to be love)

Tokens of love
many have I received
And blessings from above
Since I believed
There seems to be no end
To the blessings from above
And still He keeps blessing
Pouring out His love
Never have I been blessed
(Never have I been blessed)
With such a gift before
(Such a gift before)
Never could I have known
(Never could have known)
Such love was in store
(Love was in store)
And to suffer such pain
Just to show me more
It had to be love
(It had to be love)
It had to be love
(It had to be love)

Chorus
REPEAT CHORUS
