Victory Songs ‎#74

74. He Has Accepted Me.

1 When I was weighted down with a load of grief,
Then Jesus came to me, bringing sweet relief;
And now on Him is placed my full belief,
For I've accepted Jesus as my Savior.

Chorus:
When I accepted Jesus as my Savior,
He accepted me;
Tho' I was out in sin,
Yet He took me in,
And happy indeed my way has been
Since I accepted Jesus as my Savior,
For He has accepted me.

2 Tho' trials and temptations around me fall,
Yet Christ is more than able to conquer all;
I've heard the Savior's tender, pleading call,
And I've accepted Jesus as my Savior. [Chorus]

3 He called me from a world full of pain and woe,
And placed me where the milk and the honey flow;
I never can repay the debt I owe,
But I've accepted Jesus as my Savior. [Chorus]
