The Soul Saving Story

Representative Text

1 The Bible tells me this wonderful story,
Jesus will save;
’Tis sung by beautiful angels in glory,
Jesus will save.

Refrain:
That soul-saving story, old yet new,
I love it and tell it because it is true;
’Tis sung by beautiful angels in glory,
Jesus will save.

2 There’s joy in Heaven when sinners receive it,
Jesus will save,
It brings salvation to all who believe it,
Jesus will save. [Refrain]

3 I love to think of this soul-saving story,
Jesus will save;
To read and sing of His grace and His glory,
Jesus will save. [Refrain]
