John 3:16

I love to tell the sto­ry

How Christ

the King of Glo­ry

Left Heav’n above and came to res­cue me;

For sin­ners

He re­ceives them

His blood was shed to save them—

So Je­sus died for sin­ners just like me.

Yes

yes

yes

O yes!

Jesus died to set poor sin­ners free.

You say

How do I know it?

John three six­teen will show it;

That big word who­so­ev­er just means me.

So now I’ll try to please Him

My life I give to serve Him;

His true and faith­ful serv­ant I will be;

And when called home to glo­ry

I’ll sing the good old sto­ry

That Je­sus died for sin­ners just like me.

Then bro­ther

won’t you love Him?

And

sis­ter

won’t you trust Him?

I know He died for you as well as me;

We need our sins for­giv­en

That we may go to Heav­en

To live with Christ who died for you and me.
