Ray Boltz's song 'If That Isn't Love' reflects on the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ, who left heaven's glory to die on the cross at Golgotha. The lyrics emphasize the depth of this love by contrasting it with impossible scenarios, like a dry ocean or a sky without stars. The song also recalls Jesus' compassion toward the thief crucified beside Him, promising him paradise. It is a moving meditation on the cross, salvation, and the profound nature of God's love for humanity.

He left the splendor of heaven
Knowing His destiny
Was the lonely hill of Golgotha
There to lay down His life for me
If that isn't love the ocean is dry
There're no stars in the sky
And the sparrow can't fly
If that isn't love then heaven's a myth
There's no feeling like this
If that isn't love
Even in death He remembered
The thief hanging by His side
He spoke with love and compassion
Then He took him to Paradise
