Lyrics

I have heard the still small voice,
Dealing with my in­most soul,
Face to face with life’s great choice:
Shall the Sav­ior make me whole?

Refrain

I will con­fess Him, Je­sus my Sav­ior,
Jesus who died for sin­ners like me;
Why should I doubt,
And why should I waver?
I will con­fess Him, my Sav­ior is He.

He has sought me ma­ny years,
Tracking me in all my sin,
Shed for me His blood and tears;
Now He cries, O let Me in.

Refrain

In my soul the fight is on—
Satan wants to keep me still;
But to him, I cry, Be­gone!
Jesus, now pos­sess my will.

Refrain

I con­fess Thee now my Lord.
Thou hast won me by Thy love.
I will now pro­claim Thy word
Till with Thee in Heav’n above.
