Title: Now I know why
lyrics & music by: Jeff Knight, BMI
©2004
1st ver:
I'm just a lowly sinner. Don't look at me as a guide.
I often make mistakes. I have no pride.
This debt of sin I carry, Jesus paid it all.
He gave the ultimate sacrifice so I would not fall.
Jesus gave it all and now I know why.
Chor.
His love is everlasting, his mercy is unending.
His grace is more amazing than any mountain I know.
He sees through my weakness, he grants me forgiveness.
Jesus died for me and now I know why.
2nd ver:
I'm one of his children, a part of the fold.
I didn't deserve compassion, made of flesh and bone.
I've fallen short of his glory, yet he still loved me.
One day I'll reach heaven, from sin I'll be free.
Jesus showed the way and now I know why.
Repeat chorus
