He left the splendors of heaven for me
And he took on the likeness of man
He came to live in an ungodly word,
Though spotless the Lamb knew no sin
All heaven's foundations were were shaken that day,
But for changing His mind He could not,
He knew exactly what He would go through,
Oh He must have loved me a lot.

Chorus:
And how many tears have I brought to His eyes,
I've hurt him more often than not,
Still infinite mercy responds to my cry,
Oh He must have loved me a lot.

He went through the shame of the trial alone,
Through the darkness of death and the grave.
He went through the pain of denial and score,
The outcast and beggar to save.
If I had the power to turn back the time,
Make amends for the things I forgot
A lifetime of goodness could never atone,
Oh He must have loved me a lot.
