I Love Him

Gone from my heart the world and all its charms;
Now, through the blood, I'm saved from all alarms;
Down at the cross my heart is bending low;
The precious blood of Jesus cleanses white as snow.

CHORUS
I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On calvary^s tree.

Once I was lost, and 'way down deep in sin;
Once was a slave to passions fierce within;
Once was afraid to trust a loving God;
But now I'm cleansed from every stain
Through Jesus' blood.

CHORUS
I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On calvary's tree.

Once I was bound, but now I am set free;
Once I was blind, but now the light I see;
Once I was dead, but now in Christ I live,
To tell the world around the peace that He doth give.

CHORUS
I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On calvary's tree.
