Lyrics

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.
