Why do I love Him? 1 Peter 1:3-9 says it better than I could:Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. | MP3.com CD: Greg Hansen at the Keyboard - buy it!

Lyrics
My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign.
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, tis now.
I love Thee because Thou has first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvarys tree.
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, tis now.
Ill love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,
And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;
And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, tis now.
In mansions of glory and endless delight,
Ill ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
Ill sing with the glittering crown on my brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, tis now.
