"Oh, How He Must Love Me" lyrics

No-one could have done what he did
No-one would have done what he did
No-one would have taken my place
Not only mine, but the whole human race

God put our needs before his own
So he sacrificed his only son
He did what no other father would do
He let him die for me, and he died for you

Oh, how he must love me
Oh, how he must love me
Oh, how he must love me
Oh, how he must love me

They buried his body and they thought he was through
They didn't want to believe what he said he would do
He said on the third day I will rise
And go to my father up in the sky

But I won't leave you comfortless here in sin
So I'll send you a comforter till I come again
My Holy Spirit I'll send so you won't be alone
He will keep you till I take you home

So they posted the guards by his grave
To make sure that's where his body stayed
But for us he got up out of the ground
The grave couldn't hold his body down

Oh, how he must love me
Oh, how he must love me
Oh, how he must love me
Oh, how he must love me

No-one could have done what he did
No-one would have done what he did
No-one could have taken my place
Not only mine, but the whole human race

God put our needs before his own
So he sacrificed his only son
He did what no other father would do
He let him die for me, and he died for you

Oh, how he must love me
Oh, how he must love me
Oh, how he must love me
Oh, how he must love me

I know Jesus loves me
I know, oh yes, he loves me
Jesus loves me, yes he does
Oh, I know he loves me
Oh, how he must love me
Oh, my saviour loves me
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus loves me, yeah
Jesus, I know he loves me
