Flesh and bone
Heart and soul
Fighting tooth and nail
We work in vain to shake the blame
But all our efforts fail
The Father gave His only son
Just have faith in what He's done

It's a labor of love
A sweet sacrifice
He spent His blood for something money can't buy
It's a labor of love
That gives itself for the lost
Worth whatever the cost
It's a labor of love

If we believe
He's all we need
Then we must bear the cross
Of sharing life
Even sacrifice
To labor for the cause
The Father gave His strength to us
That we could do His work of love

It's a labor of love
A sweet sacrifice
He spent His blood for something money can't buy
It's a labor of love
That gives itself for the lost
Worth whatever the cost
It's a labor of love

The Father gave His only son
We've gotta let them know what love has done

It's a labor of love
A sweet sacrifice
He spent His blood for something money can't buy
It's a labor of love
That gives itself for the lost
Worth whatever the cost
It's a labor of love
