Not in a Valentine

Verse 1 Roses on the table, chocolates in a box Every heart-shaped promise ticking like a clock The world says love’s a feeling that just comes and goes But real love bled on a hill called Calvary a long time ago Red paper promises fade by the spring But there’s a crimson love that changes everything Chorus You won’t find it in a valentine Or written in a card that was signed in time It wasn’t wrapped in ribbons fine Or sealed with a kiss and a whisper that says “be mine” Love was hanging on a tree With nails in hands for you and me If you’re looking for love eternally It’s not on February 14 - It’s in John 3:16 Verse 2 Cupid shoots an arrow, but it don’t go deep It won’t reach a broken heart that’s lost in misery But God so loved the world that He gave His only Son That whosoever would believe, redemption would be free That love didn’t sparkle under candlelight It tore the veil and turned death into life Chorus You won’t find it in a valentine Or written in a card that was signed in time It wasn’t wrapped in ribbons fine Or sealed with a kiss and a whisper that says “be mine” Love was hanging on a tree With nails in hands for you and me If you’re looking for love eternally It’s not on February 14 - It’s in John 3:16 Bridge (build it here!) For God so loved… He gave His Son He saw our need - salvation won No greater love could ever be seen Than mercy poured on Calvary Chorus You won’t find it in a valentine It’s deeper than a dinner by candlelight It wasn’t roses - it was a crown of thorns It wasn’t a date - it was the day He was scorned To die and set the captive free That’s the greatest love story If you want a love that redeems Don’t stop at February 14 - Go right now… read John 3:16 It’s not in a card… It’s not in a ring… It’s in the greatest gift that heaven gave - John 3:16
