Lyrics

Jesus, my Sav­iour, how migh­ty Thou art;
Holy and pre­cious, You dwell in my heart;
The blood Thou shed­dest, Thou shed­dest for me;
Cleansing for­ev­er, Thy blood sets me free.

Jesus, my Sav­iour, the Truth and the Way,
Giver of life and my hope and my stay;
I’ll trust Thy wis­dom and walk in Thy will;
Draw my soul clos­er, and keep my heart still.

When I am wea­ry, and can’t find my way,
Speak to my heart and then help me ob­ey;
Safe in Thy bo­som, I watch de­vils flee:
Jesus my Sav­iour will give vic­to­ry.

Jesus my Sav­ior for­ev­er will be;
My heart will sing and give praise un­to Thee;
Sin, sad­ness, sor­row will be in the past;
Life with the Sav­iour will be mine at last.
