Why Should He Love Me So?

“When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?” Psalm 8:3,4 

As I read a devotional a little bit ago that included the above verses, I was reminded of the following hymn. Why would the Creator of the universe take thought of me…WHY should He love me so? I can’t answer that question, but I’m very thankful He does. He loves you too – do you know Him as your Saviour?

Love sent my Saviour to die in my stead,
Why should He love me so?
Meekly to Calvary’s cross He was led,
Why should He love me so?

Why should He love me so?
Why should He love me so?
Why should my Saviour to Calvary go?
Why should he love me so?

 O how He agonized there in my place,
Why should He love me so?
Nothing withholding my sin to efface,
Why should He love me so?

Why should He love me so?
Why should He love me so?
Why should my Saviour to Calvary go?
Why should he love me so?
