Why I love HIM

You ask me why I love the Lord,
   And why I wear a smile;
You ask me why I feel so good,
And everything's worth while;
I don't know why He loved me so,
Some things I can't explain;
I only know I've peace with God,
And I've been born again.

I never knew this peace before
Until the Lord saved me;
I never knew He loved me so,
And died on Calvary.
But since my soul has been redeemed,
My night has turned to day;
And now I'm walking in the light,
And Jesus leads the way.

It sure feels good to be redeemed,
To have this peace inside;
To know your sins are washed away
In Calvary's crimson tide.
And that's the reason why I sing
His praises here below;
Because He saved a wretch like me,
That's why I love Him so.
