Sheet music
- 1I am not skilled to understandWhat God has willed, what God has planned;I only know at His right handIs One who is my Savior!I take Him at His word indeed:“Christ died for sinners,” this I read;For in my heart I find a needOf Him to be my Savior!
- 2That He should leave His place on highAnd come for sinful man to die,You count it strange? So once did I,Before I knew my Savior!And O, that He fulfilled may seeThe travail of His soul in me,And with His work contented be,As I with my dear Savior!
- 3Yes, living, dying, let me bringMy strength, my solace from this spring,That He who lives to be my KingOnce died to be my Savior!
