Christ Jesus My Lord From Heaven Came,
To Save Me From Guilt And Sin And Shame;
His Death On The Cross Of Calvary
Brought Pardon And Gave Me Liberty.
I Love Him Because He First Loved Me,
He First Loved Me, He First Loved Me;
I Love Him Because He First Loved Me,
And Died On The Cross Of Calvary.
He Sweat Drops Of Blood In Prayer For Me,
Heartbroken In Dark Gethsemane;
While Angels From Blessed Realms Of Light
Gave Strength To His Aching Heart That Night.
Up Calvary’s Hill The Cross He Bore,
And For Me A Crown Of Thorns He Wore;
They Nailed Him Upon The Tree To Die,
Then Darkness Came Over Earth And Sky.
My Lord Who Was Slain By Sinful Man,
A Wonderful Friend To Me Has Been;
He Rose From The Tomb With Victory,
And Now I Love Him Who First Loved Me.
