This Is Why I Love My Savior

Verse 1

Shall I tell you why I ceased from folly? Why I turned away from sin? ’Twas because the love of my Redeemer Fully won my heart to Him.

Chorus

This is why I love my Savior, Why I love to follow Him; For He died my soul to ransom, And He washed me from my sin.

Verse 2

Do you ask me why I seek no pleasure In the things I once did love? ’Tis because I’ve tasted life’s pure river, Flowing from the throne above.

Verse 3

Would you bid me give to all a reason Of the hope I now possess? It is Christ in me the hope of glory, And His perfect holiness.

Verse 4

Though all men may look on me with wonder, At the change that’s taken place; I will walk the downward road no longer, Bless the Lord for saving grace.
