Representative Text

1 He's able to keep you from falling,
He's able all things to subdue,
To bind up the broken in spirit,
And save to the uttermost too.

Chorus:
Able, willing, able and willing to save,
Able, willing, Jesus is able to save.

2 He's able to heal our diseases,
Our bodies if maimed, He'll make whole:
He's able to keep us from sinning,
And perfect His life in the soul. [Chorus]

3 He's able to carry our burdens,
To rid us of all anxious care;
He's able to rest us when weary,
He's willing our crosses to share. [Chorus]

4 God's tho'ts to His children are precious,
All this and much more will He give;
Thro' faith in the dear name of Jesus,
We ask and thro' Him we receive. [Chorus]
