Listen

O stranger

road-weary traveler

You who are seeking for something more;

Come hear the story of Him who saved me—

He’s my Redeemer

Jesus my Lord!

His name is Jesus! His name is Jesus!

O how I love His name to declare;

If you are lonely

troubled or worried

Call

“O Lord Jesus!”—He will be there!

On your life’s journey maybe you’re hurting

Just doesn’t seem like anyone cares;

Jesus is waiting for you to open—

Just call His name and He will be there!

What if I told you Somebody loves you;

He knows your name and He knows your case;

He will not judge but simply receive you;

He loves all men

and freely gives grace!

“Jesus is Lord!” Oh

if you confess this

And believe God raised Him from the grave;

If you believe and call upon Jesus

Jesus will come and you will be saved!

Simply call Jesus! Simply call Jesus!

O what a joy His name to declare;

If you are lonely

troubled or worried

Call

“O Lord Jesus!”—and you’ll be saved!
