I Love Him Because He First Loved Me

 

I love Him Because He First Loved Me

Not only did Jesus die on the cross for you and I, but He has also consistently throughout our lifetime done so much to show His love for us. I Love Him because He first Loved Me and He Loves you and I still and always will forever and ever. Just contemplate How He shows His love for you daily. He is always with us, always listening to and tending to our needs. He bids us to come to Him and He will lift our burdens. Pray your prayers and see for yourself His answers.

Lyrics by Frank E. Roush, arranged by J.E. Sturgis

“Christ Jesus my Lord from heaven came, to save me from guilt and sin and shame; His death on the cross of Calvary brought pardon and gave me liberty.

He sweat drops of blood in prayer for me, heart-broken in dark Gethsemane, while angels from blessed realms of light gave strength to His aching heart that night.

Up Calvary’s hill the cross He bore, and for me a crown of thorns He wore; They nailed Him upon the tree to die, then darkness came over the earth and sky.

My Lord who was slain by sinful man, a wonderful friend to me has been; He rose from the tomb with victory, and now I love Him who first loved me.

I love Him because He first loved me, He first loved me, He first loved me; I love Him because He first loved me and died on the cross of Calvary.”
