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.
