207. You Need the Savior

1 Friend, you need the Savior,
I can ne’er proclaim
All the pow’r and blessing
Of that precious name;
All the peace and comfort
It has bro’t to me,
Jesus bids me tell you
He will give to thee.

Refrain:
Yes, O yes, you need the Savior,
And His love each hour,
Love that knows no height nor depth
Of pardon and peace and pow’r.

2 Yes, you need the Savior
For thy wounds of sin,
And the healing water
Of His blood poured in:
Call and He will save you,
Ask and He will give
Life to every sinner,
And the pow’r to live. [Refrain]

3 At the final summons
We must all appear,
Each to face the record
He is forming here;
In that court of Justice
Naught can set you free
But the blood of Jesus,
Drawn from Calvary. [Refrain]
