Verse 1
O what a Saviour that He died for me!
From condemnation He hath made me free;
He that believeth on the Son saith He,
Hath everlasting life.
Chorus
Verily, verily, I say unto you;
Verily, verily, message ever new!
He that believeth on the Son, 'tis true.
Hath everlasting life.
Verse 2
All my iniquities on Him were laid,
All my indebtedness by Him was paid;
All who believe on Him, the Lord hath said,
Have everlasting life.
Chorus
Verily, verily, I say unto you;
Verily, verily, message ever new!
He that believeth on the Son, 'tis true.
Hath everlasting life.
Verse 3
Though poor and needy I can trust my Lord;
Though weak and sinful I believe His Word;
O glad message! every child of God
Hath everlasting life.
Chorus
Verily, verily, I say unto you;
Verily, verily, message ever new!
He that believeth on the Son, 'tis true.
Hath everlasting life.
Verse 4
Though all unworthy, yet I will not doubt;
For him that cometh He will not cast out;
He that believeth, O the good news shout!
HATH everlasting life.
Chorus
Verily, verily, I say unto you;
Verily, verily, message ever new!
He that believeth on the Son, 'tis true.
Hath everlasting life.
