His Forever

V1 Jesus, friend of sinners, Loved me ere I knew Him Drew me with His cords of love, Tightly bound me to Him Round my heart still closely twined, The ties that none can sever For I am His and He is mine, Forever and forev–er V2 Jesus, friend of sinners, A crown of thorns You wore for me Bruised for my transgressions, Pierced for my iniquities The wrath of God that I deserved Was poured out on the innocent He took my place, my soul to save, Now I am His forever V3 Jesus, friend of sinners, I love to tell the story Redeeming love has been my theme, And will be when in glory Not death nor life nor anything, Can ever separate me O love that will not let me go, Yes I am His forever
