Why Should I Love?

Why should I love this Man Who died for me,
Whose life and death prove that He loves me fierce,
Who for my sins was hung upon a tree,
Whose love I let my heart and conscience pierce?

Why should I love this Father up above,
Who gave me life and holds me in His hand,
a God of love Who gives me all His love,
Who made me free to love by His command?

O Holy Spirit, why should I love You,
Who gives me gifts of courage, power and grace,
Who helps me be a person free and true,
a God Who is a person with a face?

Why should I love You Three--unless I own
a selfish sinful soul and heart of stone?
