Lyrics

I was lost in sin, but Je­sus res­cued me,
He’s a won­der­ful Sav­ior to me;
I was bound by fear, but Je­sus set me free,
He’s a won­der­ful Sav­ior to me.

Refrain

For He’s a won­der­ful Sav­ior to me,
He’s a won­der­ful Sav­ior to me;
I was lost in sin, but Je­sus took me in:
He’s a won­der­ful Sav­ior to me.

He’s a friend so true, so pa­tient and so kind,
He’s a won­der­ful Sav­ior to me;
Everything I need in Him I al­ways find,
He’s a won­der­ful Sav­ior to me.

Refrain

He is al­ways near to com­fort and to cheer,
He’s a won­der­ful Sav­ior to me;
He for­gives my sins, He dries my ev­ery tear,
He’s a won­der­ful Sav­ior to me.

Refrain

Dearer grows the love of Je­sus day by day,
He’s a won­der­ful Sav­ior to me.
Sweeter is His grace while press­ing on my way,
He’s a won­der­ful Sav­ior to me.
