Long Line of Love

It was there in the garden
When God created man
And standing in the furnace through the flame
It was there within the covenant
God made with Abraham
And it held Noah's family safely through the rain

At the feeding of five-thousand
With a little fish and bread
And in the touch that made the blind to see
It is why the grave is empty‘
Cause it conquered sin and death
And it offers life and hope and victory!

You can trace it straight from Heaven
To a town called Bethlehem
And then follow up a hillside
To a cross where grace began
Flowing through each generation
Down from Calvary
There's a long line of love
That reaches you and me

It was in a little church
And it was calling out my name
And it’s held me through each storm that I have faced
It’s the promise that I cling to
As I stare up at the skies
Cause soon I'll hear Love calling me away!

You can trace it straight from Heaven
To a town called Bethlehem
And then follow up a hillside
To a cross where grace began
Flowing through each generation
Down from Calvary
There's a long line of love
That reaches you and me
