That's Why I Love Him So

1 The pathway of sin so long I had trod,
Till Jesus came from above,
He spoke peace to me, O glory to God,
What mercy, what wondrous love.

Refrain:
O, glory to God, He's holding my hand,
He safely will guide, I know;
He lifted me up and caused me to stand,
O that's why I love Him so.

2 Tho friends in this land may turn me away,
Yet Christ will my pray'rs attend.
I'm glad in my heart that now I can say
That Jesus is my best friend. [Refrain]

3 I'm happy today while going alone,
The Savior is kind and true.
He lifted me up and gave me a song,
I sing it the whole day thru. [Refrain]
