He Loved Us First

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Before the stars lit up the sky, before the seas began to rise,
He had a plan, a perfect love, to draw us near, to lift us up.
Not by our strength, not by our worth,
But by His grace, He showed us first.

(Pre-Chorus)
When I was lost, He called my name,
Before I knew Him, He took my shame.

(Chorus)
He loved us first, He gave it all,
A love so deep, so unbreakable.
No greater gift, no higher worth,
We love because He loved us first.

(Verse 2)
He said to love with all our might,
To love our neighbor, shine His light.
To bless the ones who curse our name,
To lift the broken, do the same.

(Pre-Chorus)
When I was lost, He called my name,
Before I knew Him, He took my shame.

(Chorus)
He loved us first, He gave it all,
A love so deep, so unbreakable.
No greater gift, no higher worth,
We love because He loved us first.

(Bridge)
He loved the sinner, healed the blind,
He left the ninety-nine behind.
Upon that cross, arms open wide,
He proved His love, He bled, He died.

(Final Chorus)
He loved us first, He gave it all,
A love so deep, so unbreakable.
No greater gift, no higher worth,
We love because He loved us first.

(Outro)
Oh, how amazing, how undeserved,
We love because He loved us first.
