I Will Sing the Wondrous Story

Verse 1
I will sing the won­drous sto­ry
Of the Christ who died for me. (Gal. 2:20)
How He left His home in glo­ry
For the cross of Cal­va­ry. (Phil. 2:6-8)

Chorus
Yes, I’ll sing the won­drous sto­ry
Of the Christ who died for me,
Sing it with the saints in glo­ry,
Gathered by the crys­tal sea. (Rev. 4:6, Rev. 15:2-3)

Verse 2
I was lost, but Je­sus found me,
Found the sheep that went as­tray, (Isa. 53:6, I Pet. 2:25)
Threw His lov­ing arms around me, (Luke 15:20)
Drew me back in­to His way. (Matt. 18:12-13, Luke 15:4-7)

Verse 3
I was bruised, but Je­sus healed me,
Faint was I from ma­ny a fall,
Sight was gone, and fears pos­sessed me, (John 9:25)
But He freed me from them all. (Ps. 34:4)

Verse 4
Days of dark­ness still come o’er me,
Sorrow’s path I oft­en tread,
But the Sav­ior still is with me;
By His hand I’m safe­ly led. (Ps. 139:10, Ps. 73:23-24)

He will keep me till the riv­er (Jude 1:24)
Rolls its wa­ters at my feet;
Then He’ll bear me safe­ly ov­er, (Josh. 3:14-17)
Where the loved ones I shall meet. (I Thess. 4:16-17)
