Because He Loved Me First
by Ross King

Album: This Hope Will Guide Me

Oh the mercy of a holy God, to give his only Son
Who would bear the shame and consequence for wrongs that I have done.
Courageous Lamb who sought me out and found me at my worst,
Now I know I only love my Lord because he loved me first.

I am sure of this about myself, there's nothing good in me
All His ways I know I never trust, or His kingdom seek
But by His grace there is within my heart a righteous thirst
And it ever will be satisfied because he loved me first.

Oh the love that bled to pay my ransom,
Oh the love that death could not defeat,
Who am I so poor and undeserving? I am His because he paid for me!

The temptations of this fading world would lure my heart away
For they whisper lies to make me doubt that he alone can save
But Christ supremely takes the place that he alone deserves
Now I live the life that's life indeed because he loved me first. Chorus 2x

When I shed this mortal frame of dust and stand before his throne
To no longer peer through mirky glass to know as I am known
My eyes will finally clearly see my God's transcendent work
And I'll love Him best and most and last, because He loved me first.
I will love Him best and Most and Last because He loved me first.
