What made You die for me

What made You

Lord

to die for me?

Why would You die for me

Your enemy?

You took my place to hang on a tree

To be a curse

a curse for me.

What made You die for me?

I was Your enemy.

Lord

You became a curse for me.

Oh

what a mystery!

My God

You died for me!

You died for me

Your enemy.

I never thought that You would be

So full of love and tender mercy.

How could You love a person like me?

You loved me

dear Jesus

Your enemy.

You loved me

Lord

so very long;

And with a love enduring and strong.

Although I mocked and cursed You so long

You waited and prayed for me all along.

I was a man who was just sin

Which issued in a life full of sins.

My heart toward You was in rebellion

But

Lord

You touched me with Your compassion.

Your love has conquered me

Even Your enemy.

In love

dear Lord

You came to me.

Nothing could change me

But love and mercy.

Your love

dear Lord

has conquered me.

One little turn and You were there

Waiting for me with Your loving care.

How could I still remain Your enemy?

Your love

dear Jesus

disarmed me.
