have heard a most wonderful story Of the Son of the Highest in glory, How my heart He doth seek, though so sinful, so weak, He wants a poor sinner like me. Refrain He wants a poor sinner like me, Oh, wonderful love, can it be! Christ shed His own blood to redeem me, He wants a poor sinner like me. When I see Him beneath the cross bending, When I hear the sharp nails His flesh rending, When I see His blood flow, Jesus loves me I know, He wants a poor sinner like me. Refrain Yes, He wants all the sinful, the grieving, His dear arms are held out for receiving. I no longer will stay from this Savior away, He wants a poor sinner like me. Refrain Yes, He wants by His hand now to hold me, And with His mighty love to enfold me; Yes, He wants me to stay in His presence alway, He wants a poor sinner like me. Refrain
