I Don't Know Why Jesus Loves Me
Andrae Crouch And The Disciples · Live at Carnegie Hall [1973]
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
