Oh, What a Savior!


I really do like this song.  For a good example of the song, see the video of "Rosie" Rozelle  singing it:

NO.  905  WHAT A SAVIOR                       ©1948
            W & M By Marvin Dalton       Bb    4/4
                        CCLI Number:   132472

1.  Once I was straying in sin's dark valley,
No hope within could I see;
They searched thru' Heaven and found a Savior,
To save a poor, lost soul like me.

Cho.
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.

2.  He left the Father, with all His riches,
with calmness sweet and serene
Came down from Heaven and gave His lifeblood,
To make the vilest sinner clean.

3.  Death's chilly waters 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 forever more!
