Because of the cross
Because you died for me
Because you cared for me
(And I am running back to You)
Wore the crown of thorns
You took the nails
You hung with me on your mind
(I see Your standing there for me)
Your grace on display
Cause You loved me first
Came after me (Cause I never felt this way about loving)
When I turned away
Filled me with new hope again
Gave me a fresh start
(Never felt so good)
Healed of shame
Your faithfulness rescued me
Never let me go
(Never felt this way about loving)
You loved me first
(It feels so good)
That's why I love you
The sacrifice for me
Reached out to save me
(A wonderful change has come over me)
Met my needs before I asked
Love kept calling me
(A wonderful change)
Cause you loved me first
That's why I love you
(Change)
The sacrifice for me
(I'm so glad He changed me)
Reached out to save me
(I never felt this way about loving)
(Change I'm so glad He changed me)
Met my needs before I asked
(Never felt so good)
Love kept calling me
