VERSE 1
Some see love in a Momma’s smile
And a baby’s touch will make her heart go wild
Others find it in the starry skies
Dancing close in the pale moonlight
VERSE 2
Some see love in a home-cooked meal
A heart-shaped card or a handmade quilt
A helping hand that lifts you up
When you’ve fallen down –now that’s real love
PRE
But the image that keeps rising to the top of my mind
Is the picture of my Savior when He laid down His life
CHORUS
I see love in the shape of a cross
Blood-stained timber built an emblem of His mercy for the lost
I see love in the shape of a cross
The rugged tree at Calvary where Jesus paid the cost
I see love in the shape of a cross
VERSE 3
The greatest love ever known by man
Was a crown of thorns and nail-scarred hands
The blood that flowed from His wounded side
Washed away my sin — when my Savior died
CHORUS
TAG
I see love, I see love,
In the shape of a cross, the shape of a cross
