Because of Love Heritage Singers

Because of love He left His throne and made this earth His home
He did it willingly for you and me
With heaven left behind He came to save all mankind from sin and shame
He could have walked away but instead He chose to stay upon that tree
And take the crown of thorns for me
Because of love

Because of love He bore my pain
Shouldering the blame
Why did He choose to go
He didn’t have to go
How could He love me so
Because of love He called to me
He said "Child, I will set you free
You’ll have life abundantly”
Because of love

He gave unselfishly
Caused my blinded eyes to see
It was you and me He had in mind on that road to Calvary
I've never known such a perfect love
I had fallen down but He picked me up
He rescued my soul
Now I want the world to know

Because of love He left the grave prepared for us a place
He'll be back again someday and I will hear Him say
Because you believe you'll live eternally
And I'll fall on my knees and I will cry
