Can it Be True?

Verse 1

Tell it again! let me hear the strange story; Can it be true that for me Jesus died? Did He step down from the throne of His glory? Thorn-crown’d, rejected, was crucified?

Chorus

Yes, it is true that for thee Jesus suffered; Yes, it is true that for thee Jesus died.

Verse 2

Tell it again! let me hear it; I’m weary, Weary of sin, of its guilt, of its shame; Can it be true? for sin’s pathway is dreary, Shadow’d with sorrow, with darkness, with blame.

Verse 3

Tell it again! for my heart, in its sadness, Longs for the peace which you tell me He gives; Can it be true that for me there is gladness? Can it be true that my sins He forgives?

Verse 4

Tell it again! I will try to believe it; If it is true that for me Jesus cares, Blessed salvation! I now will receive it; Jesus my sinfulness lovingly bears.
