Love sent my Sav­ior to die in my stead;
Why should He love me so?
Meekly to Cal­va­ry’s cross He was led;
Why should He love me so?

Refrain

Why should He love me so?
Why should He love me so?
Why should my Sav­ior to Cal­va­ry go?
Why should He love me so?

Nails pierced His hands and His feet for my sin;
Why should He love me so?
He suf­fered sore my sal­va­tion to win;
Why should He love me so?

Refrain

O how He ago­nized there in my place;
Why should He love me so?
Nothing with­hold­ing my sin to ef­face,
Why should He love me so?

Refrain
