i love him

Gone from my heart the world and all its
charms;
Now, through the blood, I’m saved from all
alarms;
Down at the cross my heart is bending low;
The precious blood of Jesus cleans white
as snow.

CHORUS
I love Him, I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary’s tree.

Once I was lost, and ‘way down deep in sin,
Once was a slave to passions fierce
within;
Once was afraid to trust a loving God;
But now I’m cleansed from every stain
through Jesus’ blood.

Once I was bound, but now I am set free;
Once, I was blind, but now the light I see;
Once I was dead, but now in Christ I live,
To tell the world around the peace that He
doth give.
