Even I May Be Saved

I have wan­dered so long

Midst the plea­sures of earth

Spread around me in dazz­ling ar­ray;

But a still voice di­vine

Speaks to this heart of mine

Bidding me to turn back to­day.

And I may be saved

ev­en I may be saved

Oh

what mer­cy

Lord

how can it be?

Jesus suf­fered and died

On the cross cru­ci­fied

Just to save a poor sin­ner like me.

Shall I list to that voice

Shall I turn from the way

That my foot­steps have fol­lowed so long?

Still He ten­der­ly calls

Come

oh

come unto Me

All ye wea­ry of sin and wrong.

Can it be that my life

Can be made pure and clean

By the blood shed on Cal­va­ry’s tree?

But His pro­mise is plain

He will cleanse ev­ery stain

From the heart that ac­cepts His plea.

Jesus

come to me now

Take me just as I am

All my sin

all my will I re­sign;

To be guid­ed by Thee

Is suf­fi­cient for me

Just to know that Thy love is mine.
