10595. I Will Go

1 I will go, I cannot stay
From the arms of love away,
Oh, for strength of faith to say,
Jesus died for me.

Refrain:
Can it be, oh can it be,
There is hope for one like me?
I will go with this my plea,
Jesus died for me.

2 Though I long have tried in vain,
Tried to break the tempter’s chain,
Yet tonight I’ll try again,
Jesus, help Thou me. [Refrain]

3 I am lost, and yet I know
Earth can never heal my woe;
I will rise at once and go,
Jesus died for me. [Refrain]

4 Something whispers in my soul,
Though my sins like mountains roll,
Jesus’ blood will make me whole,
Jesus died for me. [Refrain]

5 I obey the Savior’s call,
Now to Him I yield my all,
At His feet, where others fall,
There’s a place for me. [Refrain]
