Do You Wonder Why?

Representative Text

Do you wonder why it is I love Him,
I love Him, I love Him?
Do you wonder why it is I love Him?
I will gladly tell you why.

Refrain:
It’s because He left Him home in glory
To die for me.
This is why I cannot help but love Him,
Jesus Christ, who died for me.
