113. Because He Loves Me So

1 Why came the Saviour from above,
To dwell on earth below?
Why suffered he on Calvary?
Because he loves me so.

Chorus:
He loves me, he loves me,
He loves me, this I know.
He gave himself to die for me,
Because he loves me so.

2 Why bowed he in Gethsemane
Beneath a weight of woe,
Till bloody sweat bedew'd the ground?
Because he loves me so. [Chorus]

3 Why does he wash my sin-stained heart
And make it white as snow?
Why does he make his home therein?
Because he loves me so. [Chorus]

4 Why will he take me up to heav'n
From cares and toils below?
Why give a crown of glory there?
Because he loves me so. [Chorus]
