My heart was op­pressed
With the load of my sin,
And it bent with the weight of its woe;
At a touch of His hand all the bur­den fell off,
Do you won­der my lov­ing Him so?

Refrain

My Sav­ior is precious to me,
My Sav­ior is pre­cious to me,
And the more He is known
By His loved and His own,
More pre­cious He’s cer­tain to be.

Then He filled me with peace
That the world know­eth not,
That is with me wher­ev­er I go;
’Tis the ve­ry same calm that is fill­ing His heart,
Do you won­der my lov­ing Him so?

Refrain

Then He shel­ters, and bless­es,
And watch­es o’er me,
Be my path­way the high or the low;
I am safe, for His arm is pro­tect­ing His child,
Do you won­der my lov­ing Him so?

Refrain

Oh, will you not love Him
Who first lov­èd you?
Just re­spond, and His sweet­ness you’ll know;
And ne­ver again will you want oth­er love,
Nor will won­der my lov­ing Him so.

Refrain
