Jesus Loved my Heart Wide Open

Original tune: Jesus! What a Friend of Sinners; Rowland H. Richard, 1811-1887.
Deuteronomy 7:8; Ps. 110:4


Jesus loved my heart wide open
His own kindness rescued me.
He came near to give salvation
His free gift; I now receive.

Chorus: How he loves me, how consuming
His free grace; my heart is free
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Keeper of his oath to me.

Jesus loved my heart wide open
For his pow’r has healed my soul.
Once my heart was cold and wanton
Darkness covered my poor soul.

Chorus:

Life has come, Thy mercy found me
Clothed me in the lamb’s pure wool
Gave me hope where death consumed me
Washed me in the Savior’s blood.

Chorus:

Worship Christ; all new born sinners,
Praise him for his wondrous love.
Tell of how his kindness found you
By the triune grace above.

Chorus:
