Lyrics
Hear the heart of Heaven beating:
Jesus saves, Jesus saves!
Hear His love and mercy pleading:
Jesus saves, Jesus saves!
Hear the host of angels sing,
“Glory to our Risen King!”
And the sounding joy repeating:
Jesus saves!
He has died our burden bearing.
Jesus saves, Jesus saves!
He now lives our sorrows sharing.
Jesus saves, Jesus saves!
See His love shine in the cross
Christ has paid redemption’s cost!
And the empty tomb’s declaring:
Jesus saves!
Sin’s dark power now is broken.
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
“It is finished!” He has spoken.
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
See the Christ all full of grace,
Melting darkness in His wake.
He’s alive forevermore!
Jesus saves!
Christ is calling, chains are falling,
Hope is dawning bright and true.
Day is breaking, darkness failing,
God is making all things new.
Jesus saves!
O to grace, how great a debtor!
Jesus saves, Jesus saves!
All the saints now shout together!
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Turn and know the risen Christ,
The spotless Lamb, our Sacrifice!
And we’ll sing His song forever:
Jesus saves!
Turn and know the risen Christ,
The spotless Lamb, our Sacrifice!
And we’ll sing His song forever:
Jesus saves!

When we sing of His saving power, we join heaven's choir in proclaiming hope to a weary world. May your heart be lifted today as you rest in the triumphant truth that Jesus saves.
