That's Why

He knew we'd so be lost without Him
That's why He left Heaven's throne
To come as a child to the wicked and wild
Not to condemn but atone
He knew that we needed forgiveness
That's why His mercy was free
When all hope was lost, He became the cost
To ransom a sinner like me

I am living in the promise
There is grace for every need
He knew that we needed a Savior
That's why His precious blood flowed
And I do believe every drop was for me
And that's why I love Him so

He knew that we all needed healing
That's why He took every stripe
The hammer and nails, the anguish He felt
Was torment that should have been mine
But He could see hope in the making
For someone as hopeless as me
That's why He rose over death He imposed
So that I could forever go free

I am living in the promise
There is grace for every need
He knew that we needed a Savior
That's why His precious blood flowed
And I do believe every drop was for me
And that's why I love Him so

I do believe every drop was for me
And that's why I love Him so
That is why I love Him so
That is why I love Him so
That is why I love Him so
Ooh, that is why I love Him so
Ooh
