Some say they're nothin' but numbers
Next to words that don't mean anything
Oh, but I found the truth and a friend like no other
The moment I read 3: 16
Some say it's old time religion
For the led astray fools who believe
Oh, but I found the hope that my lost soul was missin'
The moment I read 3: 16

For God so loved how can it be
That He sent His son to die for me
My shame is gone, my sin washed clean
And I owe it all to 3: 16

Some say you have to be perfect
'Cause nothin' in this life is free
Oh, but I found a grace I know I don't deserve
The moment I read 3: 16

For God so loved how can it be
That He sent His son to die for me
My shame is gone, my sin washed clean
And I owe it all to 3: 16
3: 16

So lay down your burdens, your broken
Lift up your eyes and see
A Savior with arms stretched wide open
On a cross meant for you and for me
Oh, thank God for 3: 16
Hey, hey

For God so loved how can it be
That He sent His son to die for me
My shame is gone, my sin washed clean
And I owe it all to 3: 16
And I owe it all to 3: 16
Oh, thank God for 3: 16
