1 You have heard of the pow’r that can save from sin,
You have heard of the precious blood,
But the blessing of grace you can never win
Till you say “I will” to God.
Refrain:
“I will,” “I will,”
Lo! the Spirit now is calling!
Will you come?
O decide this very hour,
You will never know His pow’r,
Till you say “I will” to God.
2 You have heard how the Father who gave Hi Son
Sheds the spirit of love abroad;
But the gift of His pow’r can never be won
Till you say “I will” to God. [Refrain]
3 You have heard of the life that with peace and rest
Overflows like an endless flood,
But your heart will remain troubled and oppressed,
Till you say “I will” to God. [Refrain]
4 You have heard of the house in the glory land,
Where a mortal hath never trod,
But you never may walk on its golden strand
Till you say “I will” to God. [Refrain]
