Representative Text

1 There’s a message sweet and clear,
Jesus saves!
Sweetest words that man can hear,
Jesus saves!
Tell the message far and wide,
Let it ring o’er wave and tide,
That for all the world he died,
Jesus saves!

Refrain:
Jesus saves, Jesus saves!
Hallelujah to his name, Jesus saves!
Praise the Lord, it reaches me
This salvation full and free,
And the cleansing stream I see,
Jesus saves!

2 Tell that sinful men may know
Jesus saves!
That a blessing he’ll bestow,
Jesus saves!
Let the joyful tidings ring
Of the risen Lord and King
And redemption’s story sing,
Jesus saves! [Refrain]

3 Have you heard the joyful sound
Jesus saves!
Does his grace in you abound?
Jesus saves!
O the joy of sins forgiv’n,
When the world from you is riv’n
How it makes of earth a heav’n,
Jesus saves! [Refrain]
