He left the spleandour of heaven
Knowing His destiny
Was the lonely hill of Golgotha
There to lay down His life for me

* And if that isn't love
Then the ocean is dry
There's no stars in the sky
And the little sparrows can't fl....y
Yeh if that isn't love
Then heaven's a myth
There's no feeling like this
If that isn't love (It's got to be love)

Even in death He remembered
The thief hanging by His side
Then he spoke of love and compassion
And He took him to paradise

* Repeat
It's got to be love

(G) He left the (D) splendour of (G) heaven (C) Knowing His (D) desti(G)ny Was the (G) lonely hill of Gol(C)gatha There to (G) lay down His (D) life for (G) me

Chorus: If (G) that isn't (C) love the ocean is (G) dry There's no stars in the (D) sky And the sparrow can't (G) fly If that isn't (C) love then heaven's a (G) myth There's no feeling like (F) this If that isn't (G) love (C) (G) (C)

Even in death He remembered The thief hanging by His side He spoke with love and compassion The He took him to paradise
