God looked down from heaven 

Filled with compassion and love 

We were so lost in sin 

Desperately needing him 

Longing and broken within 

He chose to sent His son Jesus 

Salvation and hope for all me 

Into a world of pain

Christ the saviour came 

Bearing our guilt and our shame 

All of our shame 


That's why God sent His son 

We needed someone to show us His Love 

Every peace from above

That's why God sent His son 

We needed someone to cleanse us within

From the power of sin 

That's why God sent His only sin


And He came... 

And through His grace our sins was washed away 

Our dept was payed through the life that He gave 


That's why God sent His son 

We needed someone to show us His Love 

Every peace from above

That's why God sent His son 

We needed someone to cleanse us within

From the power of sin 

That's why God sent His only sin 


His name is Jesus 

He came down from to save us 

The lamb of God who takes away sin 

...


That's why God sent His son 

We needed someone to show us His Love 

Every peace from above

That's why God sent His son 

We needed someone to cleanse us within

From the power of sin 

That's why God sent His only sin
