Por que me amou assim?

Representative Text

1. Morte cruel padeceu meu Jesus.
Por que me amou assim?
Já reservada me fora essa cruz.
Por que me amou assim?

Estribilho:
Por que me amou assim?
Por que me amou assim?
Por que sofreu Jesus por mim?
Por que me amou assim?

2. Foi meu pecado que O crucificou.
Por que me amou assim?
Para salvar-me, que dor suportou!
Por que me amou assim? [Estribilho]

3. Ó, que agonia, que dor tão atroz!
Por que me amou assim?
Hei de atender-Lh’a dulcíssima voz;
Por que me amou assim? [Estribilho]

Author: Robert Harkness

After attending a revival meeting by Reuben Torrey and Charles M. Alexander, Harkness became Alexander’s pianist. He came to Christ shortly thereafter (on a bicycle, he said), and made several round the world tours with Torrey and Alexander. Harkness was especially well known for his program The Music of the Cross, and as the author of correspondence courses in hymn playing. He wrote over 2,000 hymns and Gospel songs in his lifetime.
