Thank you Jesus
How we love you
He didn't have to do it
How we thank you for your love God (He didn't have to do it)
Lord, it's another day, we honor you father in the name of Jesus (He didn't have to do it)
He didn't have to do it
Know that I love the Lord
Lord because he first loved me
Oh, yes he did
Jesus gave his life for me
When he died way out on the calvary
Oh, oh no (He didn't have to do it)
I know he didn't have to do it, no, no, oh (He didn't have to do it)
But I'm so glad (I'm so glad he did)
While I was in my sins, he paid it all (I'm so glad he did)
I want to give him glory right now, Lord (oh, I'm glad, so glad that, that he did)
That he did
Sometimes I stop
Hey, hey, and I think about (think about)
How good God's been (how good God's been to me)
