While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
Words & Music: Robert Harkness, 1909 (🔊 pdf nwc).
I have a Savior, He died for me
In cruel anguish on Calv’ry’s tree.
I do not merit such love divine,
Only God’s mercy makes Jesus mine.
Refrain
Jesus, my Savior, I come to Thee
In full surrender Thine own to be.
I have a keeper, He now prevails,
I fear no evil whate’er assails.
His arms enfold me, safe and secure,
In His blest keeping vict’ry is sure.
Refrain
I have a master, He bids me go
Rescue lost sinners from sin and woe.
I love to serve Him, this master true,
Now I am willing His will to do.
