  1. 1Why did my Savior come to earth,And to the humble go?Why did He chose a lowly birth?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 precious life for me, for me,Because He loved me so.
  2. 2Why did He drink the bitter cupOf sorrow, pain and woe?Why on the cross be lifted up?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 precious life for me, for me,Because He loved me so.
  3. 3Till Jesus comes I’ll sing His praise,And then to glory go,And live with Him thru endless days,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 precious life for me, for me,Because He loved me so.
