Because He first loved me

...I love God because He made me part of His eternal plan.

I love Him for all the things He’s done for me....

...He first loved me, He first loved me;

And died on the cross of Cal­va­ry....

...Oh, how I love Jesus,

end...

...That’s why I love Him,

When I’m tempt­ed and tried,...

...That’s why I love Him,

When I’m tempt­ed and tried,...

...Why do I love Je­sus?

And gave Him­self a ran­som...

...I love my bless­èd Sav­ior,

No ear like that of Je­sus...

...I love my bless­èd Je­sus,

And if I do not fear Him,...

...Never will I cease to love Him,

Jesus’ blood has made me whole,...

...Oh, how I love Jesus,

It tells me of a Savior’s love,...

...I love Him! I love Him!

And pur­chased my sal­va­tion...

...I love Him, I love Him,

And purchased my salvation on Calv’ry’s tree....
