Cântăre Because he loves me

1. When the storm winds rage, and the rain falls fast,

And the clouds hang low above,

I shall be secure till the storm is past,

For I trust my Savior’s love;

And He knows the way, and He holds my hand,

And He will not let it go;

He will lead me home to that better land,

Just because He loves me so.



2. It was not that I was so good or great,

For my heart was vile with sin;

I had turned my back on the narrow gate,

Neither care nor lived for Him,

But I pleased myself, and I chose my way,

For His grace I did not know;

But He sought me still through the night and day,

Just because He loved me so.



3. If He loved me so when I grieved Him sore

That He sought me tenderly,

Till He won my heart, and my sins He bore,

So that I His child might be,

Will He love me less since I love Him, too,

So my heart with fervor glows?

And I haste each day all His will to do

That my willing spirit knows.



4. I will trust His love, for it e’er will last,

It is rich and warm and free;

Through the years of life it will hold me fast,

And my help and comfort be;

To my waiting heart all its treasures rare

As a sparkling stream shall flow;

In the joy of God I shall ever share,

Just because He loves me so.
