I have heard a most wonderful story
Of the Son of the Highest in glory,
How my heart He doth seek,
though so sinful, so weak,
He wants a poor sinner like me.
He wants a poor sinner like me,
Oh, wonderful love, can it be!
Christ shed His
own blood to redeem me,
He wants a poor sinner like me.
When I see Him beneath
the cross bending,
When I hear the sharp nails
His flesh rending,
When I see His blood flow,
Jesus loves me I know,
He wants a poor sinner like me.
He wants a poor sinner like me,
Oh, wonderful love, can it be!
Christ shed His
own blood to redeem me,
He wants a poor sinner like me.
Yes, He wants all
the sinful, the grieving,
His dear arms
are held out for receiving.
I no longer will stay
from this Savior away,
He wants a poor sinner like me.
He wants a poor sinner like me,
Oh, wonderful love, can it be!
Christ shed His
own blood to redeem me,
He wants a poor sinner like me.
Yes, He wants by
His hand now to hold me,
And with His mighty love
to enfold me;
Yes, He wants me to stay
in His presence alway,
He wants a poor sinner like me.
He wants a poor sinner like me,
Oh, wonderful love, can it be!
Christ shed His
own blood to redeem me,
He wants a poor sinner like me.
