Hear the heart of Heaven beating
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
And the hush of mercy breathing
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
Hear the host of Angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
And the sounding joy repeating
Jesus saves
See the humblest hearts adore Him
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
And the wisest bow before Him
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
See the sky alive with praise
Melting darkness in its blaze
There is light forevermore in
Jesus saves
He will live, our sorrow sharing
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
He will die our burden bearing
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
"It is done! ", will shout the cross
Christ has paid redemption's cost
While the empty tomb's declaring
Jesus saves
Freedom's calling, chains are falling
Hope is dawning, bright and true
Day is breaking, night is quaking
God is making all things new
Jesus saves (Jesus saves)
Oh, to grace, how great a debtor
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
Are the Saints who shout together
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
Rising up so vast and strong
Lifting up salvation's song
The redeemed will sing forever
The redeemed will sing forever
The redeemed will sing forever
Jesus saves
Jesus saves
