Lyrics

Verse 1

Why did My savior come to earth

And to the humble go?

Why did He choose a lowly birth?

Because he loved me so!

Verse 2

Why did he drink the bitter cup

Of sorrow pain and woe?

Why on the cross be lifted up?

Because he loved me so!

Verse 3

Till Jesus comes I'll sing His praise,

And then to glory go,

And live with Him thru endless days,

Because he loved me so!

Chorus

He loved me so;

He loved me so;

He gave His precious life for me, for me,

Because he loved me so.
