Nothing I have done in this lifetime Compares to what You’ve done for my life Now matter how much, I resisted You insisted to pay the price for my life with Your death It was my turn to die And you stepped forward to take my place An innocent man on the stand Plead guilty for MY filthy case And this… is why….. I love…….. You Because YOU….. Loved…. Me… First….. I should be dead, and buried in my grave I was a slave to sin, chained to wickedness I was supposed to die in my sickness But that is when I witnessed It was You, who made the difference Sin hated me, it decimated me But You came and emancipated me And like Your diary reads, Indeed! I HAVE been freed! (Hallelujah) And this… is why….. I love…….. You Because YOU….. Loved…. Me… First….. You love me and I’m worthless I don’t deserve this, I’m rubbish How…. Can you love this Wretched man that I am I am trash, but You call me treasure What You see, I never saw I was a covenant breaker Constantly breaking all of Your laws Despite all my flaws, you wouldn’t pause You proceeded to plead guilty for my crimes The most unjust trial of all times You served my sentence That’s how much You meant this Although guilty, Your bloodshed made me innocent And this… is why….. I love…….. You Because YOU….. Loved…. Me… First….. lyrics: Joe Moore
