Lyrics

Why did my Sav­ior come to earth
And to the hum­ble go?
Why did He choose a low­ly birth?
Because He loved me so!

Refrain

He loved me so, He loved me so;
He gave His pre­cious life for me, for me,
Because He loved me so.

Why did He drink the bit­ter cup
Of sor­row, pain and woe?
Why on the cross be lift­ed up?
Because He loved me so!

Refrain

Till Je­sus comes I’ll sing His praise
And then to glo­ry go,
And reign with Him thro’ end­less days,
Because He loved me so!
