7457. Why I Sing

1. I sing because I love Him—
Because to earth He came
All those to save who trust Him,
From endless death and shame.

Refrain
I sing because I love Him,
Because He died for me;
For this I shall adore Him
Through all eternity.

2. I sing because I love Him;
From sin He set me free;
He taught my soul to praise Him—
Filled it with melody. [Refrain]

3. I sing because I love Him,
For keeping me in peace;
Until my eyes behold Him,
My song shall never cease. [Refrain]
