"Because He Loved Me" is one of those songs I feel as if I have been listening to it all my life but I know I haven't. I've tried to do a little research this morning to see when I may have first heard it. (Trying to shake this foggy memory up a little.) I was not too successful in my research efforts (LOL) so my memory is still "foggy".
It believe it was written by Morris Stancil in the late 1970's or early 1980"s. Mr. Stancil was a singer/songwriter from around my "old stomping grounds" in North Georgia. (Maybe some of my cousins will help me out with my memory today LOL). I believe I first heard it sung by The Primitive Quartet in the early 1980's. A lot of country/bluegrass groups have included it in the songs they have sung and recorded, including Ralph Stanley. The Greenes use to sing it often in the early 1990's. In 2013, The Triumphant Quartet recorded it and it is included in many of their concerts today. Ok, enough of my bad memory and history.
Think about the powerful message in the words Mr. Stancil shared through the song:
"Because He loved me my Savior died on the cross was crucified
No greater love for mortal man has ever been known.
Oh praise His dear name He loves me so
Now I am His, He's mine I know
He suffered it all because He loved me!"
I pray you will be blessed hearing The Triumphant Quartet singing this great song today!
Wishing you a great Wednesday!
