Jesus loves me this I heard I even read it in God's Word And in my mind I truly did believe But not until I faced the cross Did I see what love in me had cost It was then my heart was changed at Calvary The first time I saw Love, It was hanging on a tree The first time I saw Life, It was dying there for me And for the first time, in my lifetime I found all I'd ever dreamed of The first time I saw Jesus was the first time I saw Love Hmm, I've known the love of family And friends who mean so much to me But none on earth could ever quite compare Oh, to what I found the day I knelt A Love like none I'd ever felt For all I've ever needed I found there The first time I saw Love, It was hanging on a tree The first time I saw Life, It was dying there for me For the first time, in my lifetime I found all I'd ever dreamed of The first time I saw Jesus The first time I saw Jesus The first time I saw Jesus was the first time I saw Love I saw Love when I saw Him
