1 For God so loved this sinful world,
His Son He freely gave,
That whosoever would believe,
Eternal life should have.
Chorus:
’Tis true, O yes, ’tis true,
God’s wonderful promise is true
For I’ve trusted, and tested, and tried it,
And I know God’s promise is true.
2 I was a wayward wand’ring child,
A slave to sin and fear,
Until this blessed promise fell
Like music on my ear. [Chorus]
3 The “whosoever” of the Lord,
I trusted was for me;
I took Him at His gracious word,
From sin He set me free. [Chorus]
4 Eternal life, begun below,
Now fills my heart and soul;
I’ll sing His praise forevermore,
Who has redeemed my soul. [Chorus]
