50. He Came to Save Sinners

1 When Jesus left heaven and came to earth,
He came to save sinners, I’m told;
He came thro’ the manger, the lowliest birth,
He came to save sinners, I’m told.
No room in the inn for the King from on high,
The ruler of earth and the sky,
Make room in your heart, he the whole world is worth;
He came to save sinners, I’m told.

2 He walked among men of the lowest estate,
He came to save sinners, I’m told;
His power of healing and saving was great,
He came to save sinners, I’m told.
The lame when brought to him, he healed with delight,
The blind gave he ready their sight,
Before him fled demons, and death had no weight;
He came to save sinners, I’m told.

3 He comes to us all in the Spirit today,
He came to save sinners, I’m told;
He’ll save us and keep us, just give him his way,
He came to save sinners, I’m told.
All, all once was lost thro’ the falling of man,
But Jesus brought salvation’s plan,
His blood now redeems us, then trust him and pray;
He came to save sinners, I’m told.
