He Saves to the Uttermost

Primary Scripture: Luke 15:21

Verse 1

I was once far away from the Saviour, And his face was not smiling on me; I wondered if Christ, the Redeemer, Would save a poor sinner like me.

Chorus

Would save a poor sinner like me, Would save a poor sinner like me, I wondered if Christ, the Redeemer, Would save a poor sinner like me.

Verse 2

I was long in that sad night of darkness, Not a bright ray of light could I see; This thought filled my poor heart with sadness, No hope for a sinner like me.

Chorus

Would save a poor sinner like me, Would save a poor sinner like me, I wondered if Christ, the Redeemer, Would save a poor sinner like me.

Verse 3

But there in that dark lonely hour, Came a voice sweetly whispering to me, Saying Christ, the Redeemer, hath power To save a poor sinner like me.

Chorus

Would save a poor sinner like me, Would save a poor sinner like me, I wondered if Christ, the Redeemer, Would save a poor sinner like me.

Verse 4

I listened, and lo! 'twas the Saviour, Then speaking so kindly to me; And now unto others I'm telling, How He saved a poor sinner like me.

Chorus

Would save a poor sinner like me, Would save a poor sinner like me, I wondered if Christ, the Redeemer, Would save a poor sinner like me.

Verse 5

I then fully trusted in Jesus, And oh, what a joy came to me; My heart it was filled with His praises, For saving a sinner like me.

Chorus

Would save a poor sinner like me, Would save a poor sinner like me, I wondered if Christ, the Redeemer, Would save a poor sinner like me.

Verse 6

And when this life's journey is over, And I the dear Saviour shall see; I'll praise Him forever and ever, For saving a sinner like me.

Chorus

Would save a poor sinner like me, Would save a poor sinner like me, I wondered if Christ, the Redeemer, Would save a poor sinner like me.
