Love is Why
1. He never said I’d have silver or gold,Yet he has promised me riches untold.He never suffered a life without care,Yet he relieves every burden I bear.
CHORUS:Sin stained the cross with the blood of my Lord;Yet he permitted it without a word.Why, tell me why, he redeemed you and me?Love is why you and I are free.
2. I was astray full of sin with it’s shame,There was no peace within; I was to blame.Though undeserving, my life so defiled,Now to my God I have been reconciled.
3. Though I have fewof this world’s precious goods,Yet I’m an heir to all heaven affords.Though I may never achieve earthly fame,Yet all of heaven can call me by name.
