16113. A Wonderful Savior

1 A won­der­ful Sav­ior is Je­sus my king,
So gra­cious and lov­ing is He;
I’ll sing of His mar­vel­ous good­ness and love,
His mer­cy for you and for me.

Refrain:
O a won­der­ful Sav­ior is Je­sus,
Yes, a won­der­ful Sav­ior is He;
In mer­cy He came, O blest be His name,
For a won­der­ful Sav­ior is He.

2 Despised by His peo­ple and cursed by His kind,
He suf­fered and died on the tree;
A strang­er, He found me a cap­tive of sin,
He bought me and let me go free. [Refrain]

3 He guard­ed and led me, He strength­ened my soul,
Forgave me when some­times I fell;
His love ne­ver failed me, His pa­tience I know
The tongue of man ne­ver can tell. [Refrain]

4 O friend of mine, list­en, the Christ died for you,
He calls, do not long­er de­lay;
This time is the time of ac­cept­ance for you,
The day of sal­va­tion to­day. [Refrain]
