You First Loved Us
Verse 1
We love you, Lord,
Because you first loved us.
We serve you, Lord,
Because you first served us.
You left the Father's glory above,
Laid down your life
Because of your love.
Verse 2
We love you, Lord,
Because you first loved us.
We serve you, Lord,
Because you first served us.
Our love proves true
When we obey,
And humbly serve
Each other each day.
Chorus
You loved us,
You served us,
You gave up your rights,
And God exalted you
To the highest heights.
