1 Jesus my Savior, the Son of God,
Seeking the sinner He came,
Broken in heart for a wand’ring world,
Covered with sin and shame,
Mercy He bro’t to the captive soul,
Hope for the vilest of men,
Love that endures when all others fail,
Sing it again and again.
Refrain:
He is the King of Love,
Changeless, transforming, divine,
He is the King of my life,
What a wonderful joy is mine!
Of His great love I’ll sing,
Sent form the Father above,
To Him forever my soul will cling,
He is the King of Love.
2 Think of the grandeur of His domain,
Myriad worlds, what are they!
Stars of the heav’ns with bright glowing flame,
Soon they’ll all pass away.
God of the universe, King for aye,
Nothing His great throne shall move,
Love to the world now in Christ reveals,
He is the blest King of Love. [Refrain]
