Jesus, holy, undefiled,
Thou wast once a little child;
Jesus I would like to be,
Pure, and holy, like to Thee.
But, I am so full of sin,
I’ve a wicked heart within,
All my ways are naughty too;
Blessed Lord what shall I do?
In the Bible I can see,
Thou didst die on Calvary;
Could it be that Thou didst die,
On the cross for such as I?
Saviour, can it really be,
Thou wast bearing sin for me,
In the midst of all Thy pain,
I was not forgotten then?
Yes, I do believe it, Lord,
And I’ll trust Thine own sweet word,
Him that cometh unto Me,
Shall be saved eternally.
As Thy little blood bought child,
Keep me pure and undefiled;
From the world and Satan free,
Jesus, I would follow Thee.
