Representative Text

1. Look to Jesus on the tree,
He is able to save you;
Dying there for you and me,
He is willing to save you.

Refrain
Able to save a poor sinner lost,
Willing to save at a fearful cost;
Able to save: Come, trust in His pow’r;
Willing to save this very hour.

2. O His love will melt your heart,
He is able to save you;
If from sin you will depart,
He is willing to save you. [Refrain]

3. Do not let Him plead in vain,
He is able to save you.
Let His blood wash every stain,
He is willing to save you. [Refrain]

4. Let Him enter now your heart,
He is able to save you;
If you wait He will depart,
Now He’s waiting to save you. [Refrain]
