Shall I tell you why
I ceased from folly?
Why I turned away from sin?
’Twas because the love
of my Redeemer
Fully won my heart to Him.
This is why I love my Savior,
Why I love to follow Him;
For He died my soul to ransom,
And He washed me from my sin.
Do you ask me why
I seek no pleasure
In the things I once did love?
’Tis because I’ve tasted
life’s pure river,
Flowing from the throne above.
This is why I love my Savior,
Why I love to follow Him;
For He died my soul to ransom,
And He washed me from my sin.
Would you bid me give to all a reason
Of the hope I now possess?
It is Christ in me the hope of glory,
And His perfect holiness.
This is why I love my Savior,
Why I love to follow Him;
For He died my soul to ransom,
And He washed me from my sin.
Though all men may look
on me with wonder,
At the change that’s taken place;
I will walk the
downward road no longer,
Bless the Lord for saving grace.
This is why I love my Savior,
Why I love to follow Him;
For He died my soul to ransom,
And He washed me from my sin.
