Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir That's Why God Lyrics

[Verse 1]
God He looked down from heaven
Filled with compassion and love
We were so lost in sin
Desperately needing Him
Longing and broken within

[Verse 2]
He chose to sent His son Jesus
Salvation and hope for all men
Into a world of pain
Christ the saviour came
Bearing our guilt and our shame
All of our shame.

[Chorus]
That's why God sent His son
We needed someone to show us His Love
And bring peace from above
That's why God sent His son
We needed someone to cleanse us within
From the power of sin
That's why God sent His only son.

[Bridge 1]
Then He came
Light pierced through the darkness
And through His cross all sin was washed away
Our debt was payed through the life that He gave. [Chorus]
That's why God sent His son
We needed someone to show us His Love
And bring peace from above
That's why God sent His son
We needed someone to cleanse us within
From the power of sin
That's why God sent His only son.

[Bridge 2]
His name is Jesus...
He came down from heaven to save us all
The lamb of God who takes our sins away
Yes, our debt was paid through the life that He gave
And now I know that's why He came

[Chorus]
That's why God sent His son
We needed someone to show us His Love
And bring peace from above
That's why God sent His son
We needed someone to cleanse us within
From the power of sin
That's why God sent His only son
