40. Although I am a sinful child

1 Although I am a sinful child,
Jesus is my Saviour--
With guilt my heart is all defiled,
Jesus died for me.

Chorus:
I sing the love of Jesus--
He died for me, He died for me--
His precious blood can cleanse us,
Once shed on Calvary.

2 Though but a child, I’ll do His will,
Jesus is my Saviour--
I’ll hear His voice, and follow still--
Jesus died for me.

Chorus:
I sing the love of Jesus--
He died for me, He died for me--
His precious blood can cleanse us,
Once shed on Calvary.

3 Around my feet is many a snare,
Jesus is my Saviour--
I’ll seek Him every day in prayer,
Jesus died for me.

Chorus:
I sing the love of Jesus--
He died for me, He died for me--
His precious blood can cleanse us,
Once shed on Calvary.

4 And since His service I’ve begun,
Jesus is my Saviour--
I'll tell His to every one,
Jesus died for me.

Chorus:
I sing the love of Jesus--
He died for me, He died for me--
His precious blood can cleanse us,
Once shed on Calvary.

5 When all my duties here are done,
Jesus is my Saviour--
He’ll take me nearer to His throne,
Jesus died for me.

Chorus:
There I shall be with Jesus,
Who died for me, who died
And sing the love of Jesus
Through all eternity.
