"Love Has Come" is singer-songwriter Mark Schultz's third single for his fifth studio album Come Alive.
Background
Mark says he used Bible passages to write the song. One passage in particular was Philippians 2:5–11. He also used Isaiah 45:22–24.
Production
Mark said that he wrote two bridges with no verses:
Every knee shall bow, Every tongue confess, That God is love, And love has come for us all.
Glory, glory, hallelujah, Thank You for the cross, Singing glory, glory, hallelujah, Christ has paid the cost.
Producer Brown Bannister helped write the verses and an extra bridge:
Oh, and on that day, We will stand amazed, At our Savior, God and King, Just to see the face, Of amazing grace, As our hearts rise up and sing.
