85. Just Because He Loved Me

1 Jesus took me in, saved my soul from sin,
Just because, because He loved me;
Full atonement made, ev’ry debt He paid,
Because He loved me.

Refrain:
Just because He loved me,
Just because He loved me;
For the Son of God shed His precious blood,
Just because, because He loved me;

2 Came He down to die from His throne on high,
Just because, because He loved me;
Lived a lowly life, suffered care and strife,
Because He loved me. [Refrain]

3 By the world denied, suffered He and died,
Just because, because He loved me;
Victor He arose over all His foes,
Because He loved me. [Refrain]

4 He at Pentecost sent the Holy Ghost,
Just because, because He loved me;
Ever by my side will my Lord abide,
Because He loved me. [Refrain]
