For God so Loved the Sinful World
"And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life." - 1 John 2:25
VERSE 1
For God so loved the sinful world,
His Son He freely gave,
That whosoever would believe,
Eternal life should have.
CHORUS
'Tis true O yes, 'tis true,
God's wonderful promise is true;
For I've trusted, and tested, and tried it,
And I know God's promise is true.
VERSE 2
I was a wayward wand'ring child,
A slave to sin and fear,
Until this blessed promise fell,
Like music on my ear.
CHORUS
'Tis true O yes, 'tis true,
God's wonderful promise is true;
For I've trusted, and tested, and tried it,
And I know God's promise is true.
VERSE 3
The "whosoever" of the Lord,
I trusted was for me;
I took Him at His gracious word,
From sin to set me free.
CHORUS
'Tis true O yes, 'tis true,
God's wonderful promise is true;
For I've trusted, and tested, and tried it,
And I know God's promise is true.
VERSE 4
Eternal life began below
Now fills my hearts and soul:
I'll sing His praise for evermore,
Who has redeemed my soul.
CHORUS
'Tis true O yes, 'tis true,
God's wonderful promise is true;
For I've trusted, and tested, and tried it,
And I know God's promise is true.
