Representative Text

1 I’ve been to Jesus for the pow’r,
My heart is free from sin;
Today, like billows of the sea,
His love is sweeping in.

Refrain:
Like ocean billows, ocean billows,
Waves of glory o’er me roll;
O hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Jesus’ blood hath made me whole!

2 I know in whom I have believed,
And trust him every hour;
I would not for a moment stray
Beyond his love and pow’r. [Refrain]

3 I gladly tell his wondrous love,
The love of Christ, my King;
Each moment, while he blesses me,
I would his praises sing. [Refrain]
