Because of love He left His throne and made this earth His home
He did it willingly, for you and me, with heaven left behind
He came to save all mankind, from sin and shame
He could have walked away, but instead He chose to stay upon that tree
And take a crown of thorns for me, because of love
[Chorus:]
Because of love He bore my pain, shouldering the blame
Why did He choose to go, how could He love me so?
Because of love He called to me, He said child I will set you free
You will have life abundantly, because of love
[Verse 2:]
He gave unselfishly, caused my blinded eyes to see
It was you and me He had in mind on the road to Calvary
I never known such a perfect love I had fallen down but He picked me up
He rescued my soul, now I want the world to know
[Chorus 2:]
Because of love He left the grave, prepared for us a place
He'll back again someday and I will hear Him say
Because you believed, you'll live eternally
And I'll fall on my knees and I will cry
[Tag]
You are holy, holy, Lord, God Almighty
You are worthy, to receive glory
Honor and power forever
Amen
Holy
The angels bow down
All creation cries out
You're worthy of all the glory
