I'll Say the Great Word
D. S. Warner • English
Primary Scripture: Exodus 29:44
Verse 1
How often I’ve pondered my struggles within, Between the good Spirit and indwelling sin, A foe in the temple not subject to God; But now I am free through the wonderful blood.
Chorus
I’ll say the great word, yes, I’ll say the great word; I’m all on the altar that sanctifies me: I’ll tell it forever and honor my Lord; Yes, glory to Jesus! I’ll say the great word.
Verse 2
All resting on Jesus, the altar divine, There can be no failure, salvation is mine; Though Satan should whisper, “It may not be so,” I’ll testify stronger, I’m whiter than snow.
Chorus
I’ll say the great word, yes, I’ll say the great word; I’m all on the altar that sanctifies me: I’ll tell it forever and honor my Lord; Yes, glory to Jesus! I’ll say the great word.
Verse 3
My feelings are given to Father’s control, His wisdom shall govern my body and soul; His word is sufficient, I seek not a sign, I grasp but the promise, and Jesus is mine.
Chorus
I’ll say the great word, yes, I’ll say the great word; I’m all on the altar that sanctifies me: I’ll tell it forever and honor my Lord; Yes, glory to Jesus! I’ll say the great word.
Verse 4
The tide of emotion may run as it will, The Son and the Father abide in me still; I dare not confide in a rapturous frame, But stand on the promise forever the same.
Chorus
I’ll say the great word, yes, I’ll say the great word; I’m all on the altar that sanctifies me: I’ll tell it forever and honor my Lord; Yes, glory to Jesus! I’ll say the great word.
Verse 5
All nature may perish, the heavens may fall, But Jesus is ever my all and in all; Creation may crumble to chaos and dust, In God my salvation securely I trust.
Chorus
I’ll say the great word, yes, I’ll say the great word; I’m all on the altar that sanctifies me: I’ll tell it forever and honor my Lord; Yes, glory to Jesus! I’ll say the great word.
