Lizi Bailey's song 'Because of Love' reflects on the depth of God's love demonstrated through Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection. The lyrics describe Christ leaving His throne, taking on guilt, and dying in humanity's place, emphasizing grace and pardon. It speaks of being rescued from spiritual bondage, fear being banished, and finding rest in Christ's finished work. The song celebrates freedom from sin and chains, and expresses a commitment to follow the Lord until seeing His face. It naturally connects to themes of substitutionary atonement and the believer's security in Christ's grace.

Verse 1:

You left your father?s throne

You made my guilt your own

And in my place, condemned

Alone you stood


You bled for Adam?s race

So infinite your grace

You sealed my pardon with

You precious blood


Chorus:

What is this love

Deep as the sea

Reached to the depths

And rescued me

God took my place

Gave me his name

Broke every chain now I am free

Because of love

Because of love


Verse 2:

My shackled spirit lay

In chains until the day

Your light burst in

At last, my heart was free


As soon as you came near

You banished every fear

I?ll follow lord

Until you face, I see


Verse 3:

Return my soul to rest

You are forever blessed

You stand upon the grace

Of Christ alone


Because the Maker died

And rose again alive

Now I belong to him

He is my own
