I Don't Know Why Jesus Loves Me

Andrae Crouch And The Disciples · Live at Carnegie Hall [1973]

I don't know why Jesus loved me

I don't know why He cared

I don't know why He sacrificed His life

Oh, but I'm glad, so glad He did

He left His mighty throne in glory

To bring to us redemption's story

Then He died but He rose again

Oh, but I'm glad, so glad He did.



(repeat)

He left His might...Oh, but I'm glad, I'm glad He did.

So glad He did

I'm glad He did.

Where would I be if Jesus didn't love me?

Where would I be if Jesus didn't care?

Where would I be if He hadn't sacrificed His life

Oh, but I'm glad, so glad He did

I don't know why Jesus loved me (Oh I don't know why)

I don't know why He cared (Oh I don't know why)

I don't know why He sacrificed His life

Oh, but I'm glad (so glad), so glad He did

Oh, but I'm glad (so glad), so glad He did
