1 Why did my Savior come to earth,
And to the humble go?
Why did He choose a lowly birth?
Because He loved me so!

Chorus:
He loved me so,
He loved me so;
He gave His precious life for me, for me,
Because, He loved me so.

2 Why did He drink the bitter cup
Of sorrow, pain and woe?
Why on the cross be lifted up?
Because He loved me so! [Chorus]

3 Till Jesus comes I'll sing His praise,
And then to glory go,
And live with Him thro' endless days,
Because He loved me so. [Chorus]
