Love is Why lyrics

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 few

of 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.
