EN 3782 He Wants a Poor Sinner Like Me

Luke.7.34

Versi Version 1

I have heard a most wonderful story

Of the Son of the Highest in glory,

How my heart He doth seek, though so sinful, so weak,

He wants a poor sinner like me.

He wants a poor sinner like me,

Oh, wonderful love, can it be!

Christ shed His own blood to redeem me,

He wants a poor sinner like me.

When I see Him beneath the cross bending,

When I hear the sharp nails His flesh rending,

When I see His blood flow,

Jesus loves me I know,

He wants a poor sinner like me.

Yes, He wants all the sinful, the grieving,

His dear arms are held out for receiving.

I no longer will stay from this Savior away,

He wants a poor sinner like me.

Yes, He wants by His hand now to hold me,

And with His mighty love to enfold me;

Yes, He wants me to stay in His presence alway,

He wants a poor sinner like me.
