The Isaacs perform 'If That Isn’t Love,' a song that reflects on the depth of Jesus' sacrifice. The lyrics describe Christ leaving heaven's glory to die on Golgotha, emphasizing His love through the cross. Even in death, He showed compassion to the thief beside Him, promising paradise. The song uses vivid contrasts—like a dry ocean or missing stars—to declare that such sacrificial love is undeniable. It points to the core of the gospel: God's love demonstrated through Jesus' death and resurrection.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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

Then the ocean is dry

There's no stars in the sky

And the little sparrows 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

Then he spoke of love and compassion

And He took him to paradise


if that isn't love

Then the ocean is dry

There's no stars in the sky

And the little sparrows can't fly


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
