Will You Be Mine?

Verse 1

While broken-hearted, scarred with sin, While walking wretchedly in shame, I felt a love that sought to win, I heard a voice that called my name. Yes, Jesus, Lover of my soul, Gave me the greatest valentine: He promised there to make me whole, In love He asked, “Will you be Mine?”

Verse 2

He wooed me in such tender ways, He promised to protect, provide, His all He pledged with loving gaze, That I should e’er with Him abide. He gave me glimpses of His grace, The splendors that around Him shine; With ardent, longing, fervent face, In love He asked, “Will you be Mine?”

Verse 3

Could I His offered love refuse? Could I His yearning cast aside? For I was asked, and I must choose: A blackened soul or spotless bride. To Him that bled to make me free I could but say, “I will be Thine”; Yes, Jesus shed His love on me, Such love that asks, “Will you be Mine?”

Verse 4

Can I such wondrous love repay? A thousand years can never earn Such love as this; but this I may: With all to love Him in return. ’Tis bliss to know I dwell within The ocean of His love divine— Such love that sought my heart to win, Such love that asked, “Will you be Mine?”

Verse 5

Oh, weary one, can you not see? The Son of God has called your name; Ye lonely, listen to His plea, For you, yes, even you He came. He wants to fill your broken heart, Your hurt to heal, do not decline; To you He would His love impart— In love He asks, “Will you be Mine?”
