John Three Sixteen

Verse 1

I love to tell the story, How Christ the King of glory, Let heav’n above to come and rescue me; For sinners He receives them, His blood was shed to save them— So Jesus died for sinners like me.

Chorus

Yes, yes, yes, O yes, Jesus died to set poor sinners free. You say, “How do I know it?” John three sixteen will show it; That big word “whosoever” just means me.

Verse 2

So now I’ll try to please Him, My life I’ll give to serve Him; His true and faithful servant I will be. And when called home to glory, I’ll sing the good old story, That Jesus died for sinners just like me.

Verse 3

Then, brother, won’t you love Him? And, sister, won’t you trust Him? I know He died for you as well as me: We need our sins forgiven That we may go to heaven To live with Christ who died for you and me.
