Lyrics Because He Loved Me - Ralph Stanley

Upon a hill called Calvary
Jesus my Lord suffered for me
Carried the cross all the way
My sins to atone
Then they nailed Him to the cross
Great was the pain and all the loss
Suffered it all (He suffered it all)
Because He loved me

Because He loved me, my Savior died
On the cross was crucified
No greater love by mortal man
Has ever been known
Oh, praise His sweet name, He loved me so
Now I'm His, He's mine, I know
He suffered it all (He suffered it all)
Because He loved me

Then they carried Him away
Placed Him in a lonely grave
Then they thought that this would be
The end of this man
But on that third and glorious day
God came and rolled the stone away
He arose from the dead (He arose from the dead)
Because He loved me

Because He loved me, my Savior died
On the cross was crucified
No greater love by mortal man
Has ever been known
Oh, praise His sweet name, He loved me so
Now I'm His, He's mine, I know
He suffered it all (He suffered it all)
Because He loved me

Because He loved me, my Savior died
On the cross was crucified
No greater love by mortal man
Has ever been known
Oh, praise His sweet name, He loved me so
Now I'm His, He's mine, I know
He suffered it all (He suffered it all)
Because He loved me
He suffered it all (He suffered it all)
Because He loved me
