I love to tell the story,
How Christ, the King of Glory,
Left Heav’n above and came to rescue me;
For sinners, He receives them,
His blood was shed to save them—
So Je­sus died for sinners just like me.

Refrain

Yes, yes, yes, O yes!
Jesus died to set poor sinners free.
You say, How do I know it?
John three sixteen will show it;
That big word whosoever just means me.

So now I’ll try to please Him,
My life I give to serve Him;
His true and faithful servant I will be;
And when called home to glo­ry,
I’ll sing the good old story,
That Je­sus died for sinners just like me.

Refrain

Then brother, won’t you love Him?
And, sister, won’t you trust Him?
I know He died for you as well as me;
We need our sins forgiven,
That we may go to Hea­ven,
To live with Christ who died for you and me.

Refrain
