Representative Text

1 I have found a great salvation, in a wondrous way,
By the cross, God’s revelation, in a wondrous way;
When I came to Christ confessing
All my guilt, He gave the blessing,
Now His pardon I’m possessing, in a wondrous way.

Refrain:
In a wondrous way, a wondrous way,
Jesus saves and keeps me in a wondrous way,
In a wondrous way, a wondrous way,
Jesus saves and keeps me in a wondrous way.

2 Jesus heals the broken hearted in a wondrous way;
When all comfort has departed, in a wondrous way;
Closer than a friend or brother,
Like the tender touch of mother,
He can help you as no other, in a wondrous way. [Refrain]

3 When the tempter would enslave me, in a wondrous way
Jesus sends the pow’r to save me, in a wondrous way;
I can trust Him to defend me,
Anywhere that he may send me,
He has promised to befriend me, in a wondrous way. [Refrain]

4 By and by He will transform me, in a wondrous way,
To a higher realm conform me in a wondrous way;
Things of time can enter never,
In that home my joy to sever,
I shall dwell with Christ forever, in a wondrous way. [Refrain]
