Why Did My Savior Come to Earth? and to the humble go? Why did He choose a lowly birth? Because He loved me so! 382

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

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

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

382 Till Jesus comes I’ll sing His praise, And then to glory go, And reign with Him thru endless days, Because He loved me so!
