Lyrics

I have a Re­deem­er, O wor­ship His name,
He bore my trans­gres­sions, my sin and my shame,
And in His own bo­dy on Cal­va­ry’s tree,
He took them up­on Him that I might go free.

Refrain

Oh, won­der­ful love that saved me from sin!
Oh, won­der­ful love that cleansed me with­in!
His Spi­rit bears wit­ness that now I am saved;
All glo­ry to Je­sus,
I’m saved, I’m saved, I’m saved!

I have a Re­deem­er who calls me His own,
He bids me come bold­ly be­fore His great throne;
Because I am pa­rdoned and cleansed by His blood,
And guilt­less, tho’ liv­ing ’mid earth’s evi­l flood.

Refrain

Yes, sweet are Thy mer­cies, O Sav­ior di­vine,
In ten­der com­pas­sion Thou mad­est me Thine;
With Thee I will jour­ney till life’s day is done,
And all thro’ the ag­es give praise to the Son.
