What a Savior

Verse 1:
Once I was straying
In sin's dark valley,
No hope within could I see;
They searched Through heaven
And found a Savior
To save a poor lost soul like me.

Refrain:
Oh, what a Savior! Oh, Hallelujah!
His heart was broken on Calvary;
His hands were nailscarred,
His side was riven,
He gave His lifeblood for even me.

Verse 2:
He left the Father,
With all His riches,
With calmness sweet and serene,
Came down from heaven
And gave His lifeblood,
To make the vilest sinner clean.

Refrain:
Oh, what a Savior! Oh, Hallelujah!
His heart was broken on Calvary;
His hands were nailscarred,
His side was riven,
He gave His lifeblood for even me.

Verse 3:
Death's chilly waters
I'll soon be crossing,
His hand will lead me safe over;
I'll join the chorus
In that great city,
And sing up there forevermore.

Refrain:
Oh, what a Savior! Oh, Hallelujah!
His heart was broken on Calvary;
His hands were nailscarred,
His side was riven,
He gave His lifeblood for even me.
What a Friend We Have In Jesus
What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear;
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer.
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer.

Verse 2:
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble any where?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a Friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness:
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Verse 3:
Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise,
Forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He'll take
And shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
