Because You Loved Us, Lord

Verse 1:
With no hope of reward, nor seeking gain,
your praises we will sing.
Not to escape hell’s fire, nor to win heaven’s grace,
but because you loved us, Lord.Refrain:
You are our God, you are our King,
let every heart sing out with joy.
You are the one, we’ve come to love more and more,
all because you loved us, Lord.Verse 2:
For you embraced our souls, in all their sin,
upon the cross of love.
The nails, the spear, the pain, you endured the disgrace,
all because you loved us, Lord.Refrain:
You are our God, you are our King,
let every heart sing out with joy.
You are the one, we’ve come to love more and more,
all because you loved us, Lord.Verse 3:
Not wanting earthly riches, nor seeking fame,
your footsteps we will follow.
You suffered torment and grief, conquered death itself,
all because you loved us, Lord.Refrain:
You are our God, you are our King,
let every heart sing out with joy.
You are the one, we’ve come to love more and more,
all because you loved us, Lord,
all because you loved us, Lord.Music & Lyrics: © 2000 Julie Sim & Trevor Nerva (adapted from a prayer attributed to St. Francis Xavier)
