[Verse:] 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
