When Jesus the Savior Comes In

Representative Text

1 Do you need one to help you to battle with sin?
Do you seek for a vict’ry o’er doubts from within?
Do you know that new life in your soul will begin,
When Jesus the Savior comes in.

Refrain:
When Jesus the Savior comes in,
When Jesus the Savior comes in,
From you sins you are free, a new creature to be,
When Jesus the Savior comes in.

2 Do you need a companion to walk by your side,
Thro’ the world and its evils your footsteps to guide?
There’s a Friend and a Brother, who e’er will abide,
When Jesus the Savior comes in. [Refrain]

3 Do you want to be useful to God ev’ry day?
Do you want to win those who have gone far astray?
Let His love be your motive, His will be your way,
When Jesus the Savior comes in. [Refrain]
