Children, Can You Tell Me Why

Children, can you tell me why
Jesus came to bleed and die?
He was happy, high above,
Dwelling in His Father's love;
Yet He left His joy and bliss
For a wicked world like this.

Children, I will tell you why
Jesus left His home on high;
We were all by sin undone,
Yet He loved us every one;
So to earth He kindly came,
On the cross to bear our shame.

He who for our sins was slain,
Lives and dwells above again,
Where He's waiting to receive
All who will His love believe;
This, dear children, this is why
Jesus came to bleed and die.
