10. Because He Loves Me So

1 I see the nail-pierced hands of Christ,
I hear his cry of woe,
And know he bears this bitter pain,
Because he loves me so.

Refrain:
‘Tis wonderful, ‘tis wonderful,
The debt of love I owe
To Christ the precious Son of God,
Because he loves me so,
Because he loves me so.

2 I see him in Gethsemane,
In sorrow bending low,
The blood upon his holy brow,
Because he loves me so. [Refrain]

3 He wears the cruel crown of thorns,
To death my Lord doth go,
To sacrifice himself for me,
Because he loves me so. [Refrain]

4 O wonderful the debt of love
To my dear Lord I owe,
Who gives his life to ransom me,
Because he loves me so. [Refrain]
