1 Lord Jesus Christ, I do love You
  Because You first loved me.
  You shed Your blood, were crucified,
  While hanging on a tree.
  
2 In resurrection and through death,
  You mingled God with man��
  Produced Your Body, consummating
  The New Jerusalem.
  
3 For You Lord, open my heart wide.
  With others build me up.
  In You we would together blend,
  Enjoy Salvation's cup.
