Representative Text

1 Somebody came and lifted me
Out of my sin and misery,
Somebody came, oh, who could it be,
Who could it be but Jesus?

Chorus:
Who could it be, O who could it be?
Who could it be but Jesus?
Who could it be, O who could it be?
Who could it be but Jesus?

2 Somebody bent so tenderly,
Pleading so long and patiently,
Somebody came, oh, who could it be,
Who could it be but Jesus? [Chorus]

3 Somebody whispered sweet and low,
Telling me just the way to go,
Somebody spoke, I listened, and lo,
Who could it be but Jesus? [Chorus]

4 Somebody holds my hand each day,
Guiding my feet lest I should stray,
Walking with Him how blessed the way,
Who could it be but Jesus? [Chorus]
