Song of Salvation

lyricist: Anonymous
Composer: Phillip Phillips, 1874

I have heard of a Sav­ior’s love

And a won­der­ful love it must be;

But did He come down from above

Out of love and com­pas­sion for me

for me

Out of love and com­pas­sion for me?

Yes

yes

yes for me

for me

Yes

yes

yes for me;

Our Lord from above in His in­fi­nite love

On the cross died to save you and me.

I have heard that He suf­fered

bled

That He lang­uished and died on the tree;

But then is it any­where said

That He lang­uished and suf­fered for me

for me

That He lang­uished and suf­fered for me!

I’ve been told of a Heav’n on high

Which the child­ren of Je­sus shall see;

But is there a place in the sky

Made rea­dy and fur­nished for me

for me

Made rea­dy and fur­nished for me?

O Lord

an­swer these quest­ions

please

To whom shall I go but to Thee?

And say by Thy Spir­it di­vine

There’s a Sav­ior and Heav­en for me

for me

There’s a Sav­ior and Heav­en for me.
