Lyrics

Lyrics

O why should I longer reject Him?
The way of sal­va­tion is clear;
I’m saved, if I only accept Him;
Then why should I falter or fear?

Refrain

I will (I will), I will (I will),
I will accept Je­sus now.
I will (I will), I will, I will,
I will trust the Sav­ior now.

The Sav­ior so loving and tender,
Stands waiting so close to my side;
My will unto Him I surrender;
I’ll trust in the Christ cru­ci­fied.

Refrain

And now, if I’ll only confess Him,
His peace like a river will flow;
My life will be filled with rich blessing,
And that I am saved I shall know.

Refrain

Lord Je­sus, I do now accept Thee,
My Sav­ior and shepherd to be;
I’ll travel life’s pathway beside Thee;
I’m saved, and Thy blood is my plea.
