The New Praiseworthy ‎#58

58. I Love Him So

1 It was because He loved me so,
When lost in sin and steeped in woe,
Christ did for me atone;
He cast a pitying glance on me
And said, "My child, I died for thee,
To claim thee for My own."

Chorus:
I love Him so, I love Him so,
I want the whole wide world to know
The fullness of His grace divine,
Since I am His and He is mine.

2 He washed my sin-stains all away,
And turned my night to bright noon-day
By His own blood applied;
The longing in my heart was stilled,
The aching void His presence filled
And fully satisfied. [Chorus]

3 In loving-kindness none can tell
He deigns within my heart to dwell,
This Friend so kind and true:
I want the whole wide world to know
My Savior who has charmed me so,
Then they will love Him, too. [Chorus]
