What made You, Lord, to die for me?
Why would You die for me, Your enemy?
You took my place to hang on a tree,
To be a curse, a curse for me.

I never thought that You would be
So full of love and tender mercy.
How could You love a person like me?
You loved me, dear Jesus, Your enemy.

You loved me, Lord, so very long;
And with a love enduring and strong.
Although I mocked and cursed You so long,
You waited and prayed for me all along.

I was a man who was just sin,
Which issued in a life full of sins.
My heart toward You was in rebellion,
But, Lord, You touched me with Your compassion.

Your love has conquered me,
Even Your enemy.
In love, dear Lord, You came to me.
Nothing could change me
But love and mercy.

One little turn and You were there,
Waiting for me with Your loving care.
How could I still remain Your enemy?
Your love, dear Jesus, disarmed me.

The first time I sang this song, I was near to tears. I was touched especially with the lines "Nothing could change me but love and mercy, Your love, dear Lord, has conquered me". The Lord really loves me so much that He died in my place. Even though I cursed Him and hated Him, He waited and prayed for me all along. He is always so faithful to just be there to save me and to comfort me. Thank You Lord for loving your enemy!!
