A Savior once came from the mansions of light,
He’s just the right Savior for me;
To save my poor soul from its darkness and night,
He’s just the right Savior for me.
Refrain
He’s just the right Savior for me,
My king and Redeemer is He;
Yes, just the right Savior is Jesus,
He’s just the right Savior for me.
This Savior was loving, so gentle and kind,
He’s just the right Savior for me;
No sin in His life could His enemies find,
He’s just the right Savior for me.
Refrain
Tho’ He was despised and rejected of men,
He’s just the right Savior for me;
He carried my sorrows, my griefs and my sin,
He’s just the right Savior for me.
Refrain
Once nailed to the cross, where He suffered and died,
He’s just the right Savior for me;
The blood flowing down from His hands and His side,
He’s just the right Savior for me.
Refrain
Tho’ buried, He rose from the gloom of the grave,
He’s just the right Savior for me;
He’s reigning in Heaven, my soul He can save,
He’s just the right Savior for me.
