He didn't have to love me
But He did just the same
He didn't have to save me
But for me He was slain
He didn't have to forgive me
But that's the reason He came
The reason He dies
And was crucified
Was to clear my name
He could have turned His back and walked away
I knew I was guilty
Nothing I could say
But He forgave my sins
For them He would pay
He didn't have to love me
But He did anyway
He didn't have to love me
But for me He would die
He didn't have to suffer
But still He'd not deny
No He didn't have to cleanse me
But His blood He would apply
The reason would be
Was that He loved me
And would purify
