Why Should I Love Jesus

OH! Why should I love Jesus?
OH! Why should I love Jesus?
OH! Why should I love Jesus?
All because Jesus first loved me!

Because Jesus first loved me,
I should return His love for me.
Because Jesus first loved me,
I should return His love for me!

It has been for the longest time,
Jesus Christ has waited for me.
It has been for the longest time,
Jesus Christ has waited for me.

Jesus Christ has waited for me
to finally return to Him and admit
that I still love Him much more than
I ever really have before today!

I have felt lonely lost and afraid!
All of the days I lived my life
my own way! I really did have to
pay for living my life my own way.

OH! Why should I love Jesus?
OH! Why should I love Jesus!
OH! Why should I love Jesus?
All because Jesus first loved me!

And now I have returned to His
side He is able to lead me and
guide me in all of His pathways
for the rest of my own life!

And now I have inner peaceful
harmony all because I let Him
to return back again to me. 
I am as happy as I can be!

Someday I am going to dwell
in the house of the Lord for
ever more. I shall forever be
with the Lord! Praise be the 
Lord! A-men

Love in Christ Jesus!
