1 My sins are all forgiven,
My Savior tells me so;
And ev’ry chain is riven,
My Savior tells me so.

Refrain:
Blessed am I believing,
Blessed where’er I go;
Blessed His word receiving,
My Savior tells me so.

2 I’m free from condemnation,
My Savior tells me so;
He’ll shield me in temptation,
My Savior tells me so. [Refrain]

3 No foe shall overcome me,
My Savior tells me so;
For strength divine He’ll give me,
My Savior tells me so. [Refrain]

4 With Him I’ll be forever,
My Savior tells me so;
At home where naught can sever,
My Savior tells me so. [Refrain]
