What great compassion Christ has shown!
Why should He love me so?
No greater love the world has known;
Why should He love me so?

Refrain:
Why should He love me so?
Why should He love me so?
It was for me He bled and died,
O why should He love me so?

I owe Him more than I can pay;
Why should He love me so?
My debt is growing day by day;
Why should He love me so? [Refrain]

If I should false and sinful be,
Why should He love me so?
There’s naught can change His love for me;
Why should He love me so? [Refrain]

In life, in death, to Him I’ll cling;
Why should He love me so?
He is my Savior, Lord and King;
Why should He love me so? [Refrain]
