“You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.”

This week we have a special new song for you created by Russ Hansen entitled, “Wonderful Savior” He’d appreciate your feedback on this song–please send it to him at inspiration@thegoodbookcompany.com.

“Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts” (Colossians 3:16, emphasis added) and “Sing a new song to the Lord!” (Psalm 96:1).

Wonderful Savior (lyrics by J. M. Harris, 1905)

[verse 1]
Jesus, my King, my wonderful Savior,
All of my life is given to Thee.
I am rejoicing in Thy salvation.
Thy precious blood now maketh me free.

[chorus]
Wonderful Savior, wonderful Savior,
Thou art so near, so precious to me!
Wonderful Savior, wonderful Savior,
My heart is filled with praises to Thee.

[verse 2]
Freedom from sin, oh, wonderful story!
All of its stains washed whiter than snow!
Jesus has come to live in His temple,
And with His love my heart is aglow.

[chorus]
Wonderful Savior, wonderful Savior,
Thou art so near, so precious to me!
Wonderful Savior, wonderful Savior,
My heart is filled with praises to Thee.

[verse 3]
Jesus, my Lord, I’ll ever adore Thee,
Lay at Thy feet my treasures of love.
Lead me in ways to show forth Thy glory,
Ways that will end in heaven above.

[verse 4]
When in that bright and beautiful city
I shall behold Thy glories untold,
I shall be like Thee, wonderful Savior,
And I will sing while ages unfold.

[final chorus]
Wonderful Savior, wonderful Savior,
Thou art so near, so precious to me!
Wonderful Savior, wonderful Savior,
My heart is filled with praises to Thee.
