Verse 1
^Em Why would He come to earth, ^Am why leave ^C His ^D throne?
^Em To walk to Calvary, ^Am to walk ^G a- ^D7 lone.
^G To bear the ^Am rugged cross, ^G to ^Am bear ^G the ^D7 shame.
^Em He left His heavenly throne, my ^Am life ^D7 to ^G claim.

Chorus
^C What Love ^G this must be, ^C He ^D died ^C for ^G me.
^C To bear me ^G sin and guilt, ^D on ^G Cal- ^D7 va- ^G ry.
^C There on the ^G cross to die, ^C there ^D in ^C dis- ^G grace.
^C What Love ^G this must be, ^C He ^G died ^D7 for ^G me.

Verse
^Em He let them pierce with nail, ^Am His hands ^C His ^D feet.
^Em He wore a crown of thorns, ^Am it was ^G for ^D7 me.
^G He felt the ^Am spear and nails, ^G He ^Am felt ^G the ^D7 thorns.
^Em He felt the anguish He ^Am felt ^D7 the ^G scorn.

Chorus

Bridge
^C How He must ^G love me, to ^C give ^G His ^C own ^G Life.
^C He took my ^G burdens and ^D He ^G paid ^A the ^D price.
^C How He must ^G love me and ^C in ^G such ^Ca- ^G way
^G to ^C pay ^G the ^D debt that I nev- ^G er ^D could ^G pay.
