Lyrics From heaven above, in His infinite love, Came Jesus, a Savior to be; And He scorned the deep pain our ransom to gain, O He is the Savior for me. The birds had their nest and the people their rest, While Jesus all night made His plea; On the mountain alone was the Father's dear Son, O He is the Savior for me. For silver betrayed, inmock purple arrayed, Condemned to a death on the tree; Then they led Him away on that Wonderful Day, O He is the Savior for me. Chorus: O Jesus is willing to be A Savior for sinners like me! And the burden will roll From the poor troubled soul That to Jesus will flee.
