Cheri Keaggy Because He First Loved Us
we will stop and help when someone's in a bind
if we see a need, we will try to make the time
and while other think of reasons not to love
we love because he first loved us
we are quick to say "i'm sorry" when we're wrong
and instead of holding grudges, we move on
for we know the father's grace will be enough
we love because he first loved us
teach us to love when we don't get it right
so when the world looks at us
they will see your light
teach to love and to lay down our lives
and we'll praise our father in heaven
we don't seek revenge, instead we the peace
when life strikes a blow, we turn the other cheek.
we will persevere when other will give up
we love because he fist loved us
yes they will praise our father in heaven
we won't brag, we won't boast
but if they want to know
we will point ot the one who has loved us the most
well, is not that we don't ever disagree
still when times get rough you will find us on our knees
you might say we're all just diamonds in the rough
but we love because he first loved us
you might say we're all just diamonds in the rough
but we love, yes that what his love does,
we love because he first loved us
