Why Should He Love Me So?

1 Love sent my Savior to die in my stead;  
Why should He love me so?  
Meekly to Calvary's cross He was led;  
Why should He love me so?  

Refrain:  
Why should He love me so?  
Why should He love me so?  
Why should my Savior to Calvary go?  
Why should He love me so?  

2 Nails pierced His hands and His feet for my sin;  
Why should He love me so?  
He suffered sore my salvation to win:  
Why should He love me so? [Refrain]  

3 O how He agonized there in my place;  
Why should He love me so?  
Nothing withholding my sin to efface;  
Why should He love me so? [Refrain]
