1 I have a blessed Saviour
On whom I can rely;
Whose mercies are unending,
Whose love can never die;
And ev’ry time I seek Him
He hears my earnest plea;
I love my blessed Saviour,
Just because He first lov’d me.

Chorus:
Because He first lov’d me,
Because He first lov’d me,
I lov’d my blessed Saviour,
Because He first lov’d me.

2 I have a blessed Saviour
Who died that I might live;
Whose grace alone, can save me,
Who will my sins forgive;
It was for me He suffered
And hung upon the tree;
I love my blessed Saviour,
Just because He first lov’d me. [Chorus]

3 I have a blessed Saviour,
Whose everlasting arm
Is my unfailing refuge
And keeps me from all harm;
I know that I can trust Him,
Wherever I may be,
I love my blessed Saviour,
Just because He first lov’d me. [Chorus]
