- 1Come hear me tell the storyPaul and Silas loved so well,How Jesus left His home above and came on earth to dwell;You ask me why He suffered,I can only say “I know,He gave His life a ransom, just because He loved me so.He loved me so, (He loved, He loved me so,)He loved me so; (He loved, He loved me so;)He gave His life a ransom,Just because He loved me so;He loved me so, (He loved, He loved me so,)He loved me so; (He loved, He loved me so;)He gave His life a ransom,Just because He loved me so;
- 2I’m glad my dear Redeemer walked beside the Galilee,His life was pure and holy, and His grace was full and free;He calls for me to follow,I will walk with Him below,He will never, never leave me, just because He loved me so.He loved me so, (He loved, He loved me so,)He loved me so; (He loved, He loved me so;)He gave His life a ransom,Just because He loved me so;He loved me so, (He loved, He loved me so,)He loved me so; (He loved, He loved me so;)He gave His life a ransom,Just because He loved me so;
- 3I will sing His boundless mercy, all the beauty of His waysIf at times I do not see Him,I will trust and give Him praise;And no matter where He leads me, it is best for me.I know, I will lean upon His promise, just because He loved me so.He loved me so, (He loved, He loved me so,)He loved me so; (He loved, He loved me so;)He gave His life a ransom,Just because He loved me so;He loved me so, (He loved, He loved me so,)He loved me so; (He loved, He loved me so;)He gave His life a ransom,Just because He loved me so;
