Because I Love Thee, Lord - a sacred hymn 4-Part - Digital Sheet Music
A beautiful, sacred hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Kathryn W. Hales. Text:Why, when the morn awakens me, And my children await with pressing needs, Do I open up my scriptures, And Thy holy word first read? Why, when ev'nings rest still beckons me, Do I kneel in thanks to pray For granted strength to perform my labors With honesty that day? Because I love Thee, Lord.Why, when the bills are mounting, And money is being spread so thin, Do I pay an offering in full, To show God I remember Him? Why, when daily life's a struggle, Nearly overpow'ring my strength, Do I pause to hear the Voice of Him in whom I place my Faith? Because I love Thee, Lord. Why do I give so much of time To serve in callings so demanding? Why do I submit myself to learn And humbly do Thy commanding? Why do I go to holy temples, Doing work for my kindred dead, When I could be in my own home, Doing my own tasks instead? Because I love Thee, Lord. The Lord Jesus is the "why" I choose to follow and obey. To sacrifice and bend the knee For Lord Jesus shows the way. I love Thee, Lord, with all my heart and strength, With might and soul and mind. I love Thee Lord, and seek Thy face, And Thy sweet Presence find. And Thy sweet Presence find. Chorus:Why do I live in such a way, To work and praise and sing and pray; Why do I listen, strive to obey?Because I love Thee, Lord.

Text:
Why, when the morn awakens me,
And my children await with pressing needs,
Do I open up my scriptures,
And Thy holy word first read?
Why, when ev'nings rest still beckons me,
Do I kneel in thanks to pray
For granted strength to perform my labors
With honesty that day?
Because I love Thee, Lord.
Why, when the bills are mounting,
And money is being spread so thin,
Do I pay an offering in full,
To show God I remember Him?
Why, when daily life's a struggle,
Nearly overpow'ring my strength,
Do I pause to hear the Voice
of Him in whom I place my Faith?
Because I love Thee, Lord.
Why do I give so much of time
To serve in callings so demanding?
Why do I submit myself to learn
And humbly do Thy commanding?
Why do I go to holy temples,
Doing work for my kindred dead,
When I could be in my own home,
Doing my own tasks instead?
Because I love Thee, Lord.
The Lord Jesus is the "why"
I choose to follow and obey.
To sacrifice and bend the knee
For Lord Jesus shows the way.
I love Thee, Lord, with all my heart and strength,
With might and soul and mind.
I love Thee Lord, and seek Thy face,
And Thy sweet Presence find.
And Thy sweet Presence find.
Chorus:
Why do I live in such a way,
To work and praise and sing and pray;
Why do I listen, strive to obey?
Because I love Thee, Lord.
