I love God because He loved me long
before the world began.
I love God because He knew my destiny.
I love God because He made me
part of His eternal plan.
I love God because He first loved me.
Chorus:
I love Him for all the things
He's done for me.
I love Him for all that He is,
all that He is to me.
But, most of all,
I love Him as the Spirit who
deep within my spirit lives.
I love God because He came in time
to be the Son of Man.
I love God because He gave Himself for me.
I love God because He conquered death
that I might live again.
I love God because He first loved me.
I love God because He's processed now
to be my life within.
I love God because He is transforming me.
I love God because He's building up
the New Jerusalem.
I love God because He still loves me.
