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.

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.

One little turn and You were there, waiting for me with Your loving care.
These words continually encourage and supply me every single day. The Lord speaks these words to me in every situation I face. We all need to be constantly reminded that all it takes is ONE LITTLE TURN and He is there waiting to care for us. All it takes is that one little turn and He is able to work Himself into us more. This is all He requires of us, to be open and to turn to Him in every situation. Praise the Lord, He does the rest!

I like this song because it reminds me how God became man, all the processes He passed through. It also reminds me that God so love the world and He gave the only begotten Son through whom He purposed the mass delivery. It also reminds me how exceedingly great the mercy of the Lord is, that He chose me long before the world began in Christ Jesus. He raised me together with Christ even while I was at enmity with Him. O what a mercy! Hallelujah!
Thank You Lord for dying for us... We love You.

I am moved by the words to this song, it makes me realize how far from the Lord I was and how little love I had for Him. Praise the Lord that He never stopped loving us and continues to intercede for us.

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!!
