It is quite a mystery
Why He bled and died for me.
Why from heav’n to earth He came,
All to take my sin and shame.
And not only did He take
My sin and die for my sake,
But He also made me be
Righteous before God, as He.
Now He as I, and I, He.
This is the great mystery.
One with Him forevermore,
Makes me wonder why? What for?
Why would He give up so much
To become a filthy wretch?
And why give me all for free,
All the stuff of royalty?
What He says is pretty clear,
If you have the ears to hear.
Love for us is why He came;
To the glory of His name.
For greater love hath no man,
Than He who came by the plan
Of the Father, and who gave
His life for my soul to save.
