Chief Of Sinners

By Fountainview Academy

Lyrics

Chief of sinners though I be,

Jesus shed His blood for me;

Died that I might live on high,

Lived that I might never die,

As the branch is to the vine,

I am His, and He is mine.


Oh, the height of Jesus' love!

Higher than the heavens above,

Deeper than the depths of sea,

Lasting as eternity.

Love that found me--wondrous thought!--

Found me when I sought Him not.


Jesus only can impart

Balm to heal the smitten heart;

Peace that flows from sin forgiven,

Joy that lifts the soul to heaven;

Faith and hope to walk with God

In the way that Enoch trod.


Chief of sinner though I be,

Christ is All in all to me;

All my wants to Him are known,

All my sorrows are His own.

Safe with Him from earthly strife,

He sustains the hidden life. 


O my Savior, help afford

By Thy Spirit and Thy Word!

When my wayward heart would stray,

Keep me in the narrow way;

Grace in time of need supply

While I live and when I die.
