[S]
 'God So Loved' is one of the biggest anthems with the most simple message. It’s this song that defines the album to me. The message is one that everyone knows - John 3:16, 'For God so loved the world. ' The cool thing is, it talks about the verse from the Bible, 'God so loved, ' in a song and then in the chorus it has that anthem, the actual verse, so that anyone can sing and feel right through the song." -- Jaci Velasquez

 Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba,
 Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba,
 God so loved the world
 That He gave His one and only Son,
 That whosoever believes in Him
 Will not perish but have everlasting life.  

[V1]
 I try so hard to find the words to say,
 To let you know how great is this God to whom I pray.
 Nothing can or ever will compare
 To the peace that flows in your soul when He is living there.  

[V2]
 Oh, I know you've been through so much,
 It's hard to contemplate letting go and reaching out in trust.
 But I know the simple truth
 That love is here for you.
 So take Him at His word and see what He can do.  

[V3]
 God so loved the world
 That He gave His one and only Son,
 That whosoever believes in Him
 Will not perish but have everlasting life.  

[V4]
 The promise is yours and mine;
 Take hold of this love
 For the rest of your life.  

[V5]
 Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba,
 Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba,  

[V6]
 But it's time to take a step of faith
 Be prepared for Jesus' love to carry you away.  

[V7]
 God so loved the world
 That He gave His one and only Son, (Son)
 That whosoever believes in Him (believes in Him)
 Will not perish but have everlasting life.  

[V8]
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, everlasting life
 Oh, yeah, You love me
 God so loved the world
 He gave, He gave us
 His one and only Son, one and only Son
 If you just believe, if you just believe
 It'll set you free, it'll set you free
 Oh, He loves you so much.
 He loves you so much.
 Just believe, just believe.
