1 Because he’s abundantly able to save,
I will trust in this wonderful Savior;
Because his own life as a ransom he gave,
I will trust in his wonderful love.

Refrain:
O what a wonderful Savior!
Pleading for me above,
Because he’s abundantly able to save,
I will trust in his wonderful love.

2 Because there is cleansing in Calvary’s flow,
I will trust in this wonderful Savior;
Because of the blood making whiter than snow,
I will trust in his wonderful love. [Refrain]

3 Because he has promised all grace to supply,
I will trust in this wonderful Savior;
Because he will send me his pow’r from on high,
I will trust in his wonderful love. [Refrain]

4 Because he will help me in doing his will,
I will trust in this wonderful Savior;
Some mission of mercy be mine to fulfill;
I will trust in his wonderful love. [Refrain]

5 Because he’s preparing a mansion for me,
I will trust in this wonderful Savior;
Because I’ll awaken his glory to see,
I will trust in his wonderful love. [Refrain]
