Once I was straying in sin's dark valley
No hope within could I see
They searched through Heaven
And found a Savior
To save a poor lost soul like me.
Chorus
Oh, what a Savior, oh hallelujah
His heart was broken on Calvary
His hands were nail scarred
His side was riven
He gave His life-blood for even me.
Death's chilly water I'll soon be crossing
His hand will lead me safe o'er
I'll join the chorus in that great city
And sing up there for evermore.
Chorus
Oh, what a Savior, oh hallelujah
His heart was broken on Calvary
His hands were nail scarred
His side was riven
He gave His life-blood for even me, oh what a savior.
