Oh you who loved me,
and for me came and to me called while I was in chains you waited on me
and you held my broken heart throughout my life
(Why did you love me? 
what good is in me?)x2
I am a sinner, full of much evil
but willingly You came to live inside me

Oh you who loved me,
deep in Your heart is grace that fills me and cleanses my sins
Your hand that guides me
and your kindness it comforts me throughout all my days

(Why did you love me? 
what good is in me?)x2 
I am a sinner, full of much evil 
but willingly You came to live inside me

Oh you who loved me,
under your feet, I pour my fragrance and worship You Jesus you loved me
I live for you, I am your servant giving up my heart

(Why did you love me? 
what good is in me?)x2 
I am a sinner, full of much evil 
but willingly You came to live inside me

Oh You Who Loved Me - St. Mark DC+VMSA mississauga


If I forget thy love, O Zion, let my hand, my right hand, be forgotten and its majesty.  

Remember the cruelties of thy foes, O Lord; arise! Rescue the Church from injustice and misery. 

Likewise, let this tongue of mine to my throat, cleave, if thy remembrance flees my thoughts or else my deeps. 

Remember the cruelties of thy foes, O Lord; arise! Rescue the Church from injustice and misery. 

If I favor not the Lord’s abode more than my joy; if, in it, I delight not more than the body.

Remember the cruelties of thy foes, O Lord; arise! Rescue the Church from injustice and misery. 

Blessèd shall he be, O Zion, who fights for thee, who, within thee, draws the sword of truth, to eternity.  

Remember the cruelties of thy foes, O Lord; arise! Rescue the Church from injustice and misery.
