1 God loves me dearly,
Grants me salvation,
God loves me dearly,
Loves even me.
Refrain:
Therefore I'll say again:
God loves me dearly,
God loves me dearly,
Loves even me.
2 I was in slav'ry,
Sin, death, and darkness;
God's love was working
To make me free. [Refrain]
3 He sent forth Jesus,
My dear Redeemer,
He sent forth Jesus
And set me free. [Refrain]
4 Jesus, my Savior,
Himself did offer;
Jesus, my Savior,
Paid all I owed. [Refrain]
5 Now I will praise You,
O Love Eternal;
Now I will praise You
All my life long. [Refrain]
