Oh, It Is Wonderful (Green)

Can it be that Je­sus bought me

And on the hal­lowed cross atoned for me?

Loved me

chose me ere I knew Him?

Oh

what a pre­cious

pre­cious friend is He!

Oh

it is won­der­ful

ve­ry

ve­ry won­der­ful

All His grace so rich and free!

Oh

it is won­der­ful

ve­ry

ve­ry won­der­ful

All His love and grace to me!

Praise His name

He sought and found me

Saved me from wan­der­ing and brought me near;

Freely now His grace be­stow­ing

Jesus is grow­ing un­to me more dear.

It was months He had been wait­ing

Waiting the dawn­ing of the pre­cious hour

When I should at last be yield­ing

Yielding to Je­sus ev­ery ran­somed pow­er.

From that hour He has been seek­ing

How He may fill me with His pre­cious love

How He may thro’ grace trans­form me

Meet for the fel­low­ship of saints ab­ove.

As I think of all

I mar­vel

Why in such pa­tience He my good has sought

And be­stowed His grace up­on me

And in my spir­it such a change has wrought.

So I cry

with love o’er­flow­ing:

Unto the Sav­ior be eter­nal praise

Who re­deemed me

soul and bo­dy

Filling with glad­ness all my earth­ly days.
