  • “Cowals’ tunes are full and captivating whether he is playing solo acoustic guitar or accompanied by a handful of other talented musicians. The multi-talented artist’s flute work and lackadaisical vocal octave jumps throughout certain songs also give these Biblical verse driven tunes a Dave Matthews feel.” —Kelly O’Neil

God So Loved (live)

  • March 27, 2013

This is a new song I wrote this week based mostly on the familiar passage of John 3:16. As it is Easter week I was reading and reflecting on the amazing gift of salvation and God’s grace. I realized that I sometimes overlook this verse just because it has become so familiar since childhood, but I wanted to reawaken the wonder and thankfulness for the message it contains. The other verses used are listed at the bottom of the lyrics.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
—John 3:16

It’s so good to know that even in the midst of our ugliness and sin, God still loves us and chose to send his son to die in our place. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! Happy Easter everyone!

Lyrics

God So Loved

For God so loved, God so loved, God so loved
He loved us so much
(repeat)

Even while we were still wallowing
Wallowing in our sin
He didn’t wait for us to clean up our act
Before His love came in
Just believe in your heart
And confess with your mouth
Jesus Christ is Lord
And you will find love and life
Love and life forevermore

For God so loved, God so loved, God so loved
He loved us so much
(repeat)

He sent His son to die for you and I
To suffer in our place
What more can be said for amazing grace
But God so loved the world

What father would choose the heartache and the pain
To lose your only child for a stranger’s gain
Yet that is what He did
When He gave us Jesus
For God so loved the world

John 3:16-17, 14:23; Romans 5:5-10, 10:9-13
