Tell me what am I to you,
That you should care —
Let me recall the deeds I’ve done
Deserving your praise;
And did you die for all my sins because you found me worthy?
Why, even now you stand before God’s throne,
Pleading my case
I don’t know why you love me
It’s one of those mysteries
So hard for me to see, oh
I don’t know why you love me
I don’t know why it’s true,
But I’m glad you do
Had you turned and walked away,
Who’d didn’t know to blame
And if you’d refused to pay my debts,
I’d still be in chains
And if you’d given up the serach,
I know I’d still be drifting
I would still be wandering alone
Trying to get home
I don’t know why you love me
It’s one of those mysteries
So hard for me to see, oh
I don’t know why you love me
I don’t know why it’s true,
But I’m glad you do
Bridge:
Your love is patient, long-suffering and kind
I don’t have to understand it
But you saved my life,
And I’m glad that’s the way you planned it
I don’t know why you loved me —
Oh, but I’m glad you do
Though I’m far from deserving it
I don’t know why you love me
It’s one of those mysteries so hard for me to believe in
I don’t know why you love me
I don’t know why it’s true
But I’m glad you do
I (I) don’t know why
(Don’t know why)
You love me— but I’m glad you do
I don’t know why you love me
I don’t know why it’s true
But I’m glad you do
