Great Gospel Songs ‎#87

87. I Have the Witness

1 Not by my trying, nor yet by my tears,
Have I been cleansed from the guilt of the years;
It was the Savior who came to my heart,
Touching with blood ev’ry part.

Refrain:
I have the witness, O glory to God!
Jesus abides and I’m under the blood,
Washed and made white in the soul-cleansing flood,
I am the child of a King.

2 Freely He giveth me more of his grace,
Daily I walk in light of His face;
Wholly submissive I trust to His care,
Safely He keeps ev’rywhere. [Refrain]

3 Dwelling in me is the Savior divine,
Since I have Him all things surely are mine;
Largely I ask and He heareth my cry,
Quickly His need doth supply. [Refrain]
