Jesus I love You because You make the sun to shine,
I love You because Your precious Word is divine.
You made me and the stars that twinkle in the sky,
the mountains crested with clouds,
the beautiful eagle that rises so high.
You're more gentle than soft pale moonlight
but You're brighter than the sun,
Your creations leave me breathless and stunned.
(BRIDGE)
I know by all these wonderful things
You have made me that Your love is true,
I can feel my love for you growing each day,
because of all that You do,
most of all I know that you love me
cause you died to set me free;
but why do You love me?
I was lost in sin, Your enemy for sure,
But You took me in, gave me life, made me pure,
Now I know that You love me, You came here to die,
on a cross You took my place, You were crucified.
You gave me all that is precious to You, even Your life,
Yes I now that You love me, but Jesus, why?
(BRIDGE)
I sure don't deserve it, it I got what was coming to me
I'd be in hell, but You've given me mercy,
Jesus You love me so well.
for all this I love You, You died to set me free,
But why, oh Lord, do You love me?
