Because He loved me - Ralph Stanley

Description

"On a hill called Calvary, Jesus my Lord suffered for me,
and carried the cross all the way my sins to atone. Then they
nailed him to the cross, great was the pain and all the loss;
he suffered it all, because he loved me.

(Chorus)
Because he loved me, my Savior died, on the cross was crucified,
no greater love by mortal man has ever been known, oh praise
his sweet name, he loved me so, now I am his, he's mine I know.
He suffered it all because he loved me.

Then they carried him away, placed him in a lonely grave,
surely they thought that this would be the end of this man, but on
that third and glorious day, God came and rolled the stone away.
He arose from the dead, because he loved me.

(Chorus) x2
Because he loved me, my Savior died on the cross was crucified,
no greater love by mortal man has ever been known, oh praise
his sweet name he loved me so, now I am his, he's mine I know.
He suffered it all bcause he loved me.
