Why did the Savior heaven leave
And come to earth below
Where men His grace would not receive?
Because He loves me so!He loves me!
He loves me!
He loves me, this I know!
He gave Himself to die for me,
Because He loves me so!Why did the Savior mark the way,
And why temptation know?
Why teach and toil and plead and pray?
Because He loves me so!Why feel the garden’s dreadful dross?
Why through His trials go?
Why suffer death upon the cross?
Because He loves me so!
