A Song - I Love You Because You First Loved Me
Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days
Composer's Foreword
The bible says we are not the one who first loved God, He is the one who first loved us. It is because of his love for us that he decides to do what he did for us, dying for our sins.
This great love demonstrated by God beats me hollow, therefore I have composed this song to bless the Holy One of Israel.
Thank you.
Composed Song
Leader
You came to world
Put on body of flesh
To save the world
That's why you came to the world
Chorus
Leader
You endur'd ridicule
By humans you created
For you focused your eyes
Just to save work of your hand
Chorus
Leader
Your gaze is focused
On the glory ahead
Saving humanity
From curse of sin and death

When clays are fighting
Rejecting the Potter
Yet your longsuffering
Elastic limit is not 'xceeded
Chorus
Leader
Special love
Is your love to humanity
I love you Father
'Cause you first loved me
Chorus
Leader
You were arrested
Tortured and detained
Clothes thorned
Nakedly were dragged to the jurists
Chorus
Leader
Your handiworks
Sitting on judgment seats
To judge you
Condemning the Creator
Chorus
Leader
You were beaten
Crowned with thorns and briers
Your body was Peirce's
Blood and body fluids lost
Chorus
Leader
Dragged to Golgotha
Where you were nailed
You werekilled
Alongside with the sinners

Your love yea
Is a matchless love
For the Potter
Is killed yea by his handiwork

You have died
To save humanity
A friend dying
For friends not worth dying for

By your death
Humanity has been saved
By your blood
We overcame the devil

A matchless King
Showing matchless love
A matchless love
Breeds a matchless grace

My glorious God
I 'll keep praising you
I love you, Father
'Cause you first loved me
