Lyrics

I want to be a soul win­ner
For Je­sus ev­ery day,
He does so much for me;
I want to aid the lost sin­ner
To leave his err­ing way,
And be from bond­age free.

Refrain

A soul win­ner for Je­sus,
A soul win­ner for Je­sus,
O let me be each day
A soul win­ner for Je­sus,
A soul win­ner for Je­sus,
He’s done so much for me.

I want to be a soul win­ner
And bring the lost to Christ,
That they His grace may know;
I want to live for Christ ever,
And do His bless­èd will,
Because He loves me so.

Refrain

I want to be a soul win­ner
Till Je­sus calls for me,
To lay my bur­dens down;
I want to hear Him say, ser­vant,
You’ve ga­thered ma­ny sheaves,
Receive a star­ry crown.
