Baptist Hymnal 1991 ‎#436

436. He Included Me

1. I am so happy in Christ today,
That I go singing along my way;
Yes I'm so happy to know and say,
"Jesus included me, too."

Jesus included me,
Yes, He included me,
When the Lord said, "Whosoever," He included me;
Jesus included me,
Yes, He included me,
When the Lord said, "Whosoever," He included me.

2. Gladly I read, "Whosoever may
Come to the fountain of life today";
But when I read it I always say,
"Jesus included me, too."

Jesus included me,
Yes, He included me,
When the Lord said, "Whosoever," He included me;
Jesus included me,
Yes, He included me,
When the Lord said, "Whosoever," He included me.

3. Ever God's Spirit is saying, "Come!"
Hear the Bride saying, "No longer roam";
But I am sure while they're calling home,
"Jesus included me, too."

Jesus included me,
Yes, He included me,
When the Lord said, "Whosoever," He included me;
Jesus included me,
Yes, He included me,
When the Lord said, "Whosoever," He included me.

4. "Freely come drink," words the soul to thrill!
O with what joy they my heart do fill!
For when He said, "Whosoever will,"
"Jesus included me, too."

Jesus included me,
Yes, He included me,
When the Lord said, "Whosoever," He included me;
Jesus included me,
Yes, He included me,
When the Lord said, "Whosoever," He included me.
