Jesus Is My Savior

By Blythe Rackham

Jesus is my Savior, for

He rescues me from me.

I’ll try to explain just how to you.

It’s very clear to see.

Heavenly Father sent me here

To learn to choose the right.

I can’t get back to live with Him

Unless I win the fight.

Each day I have to make a choice.

Some days I seem to choose

The path that leads away from Christ,

And that’s the way I lose.

But God knew that I’d need some help,

So Jesus said He’d come

And be my Savior so I can try

To be the best I can become.

And when I try to change my ways—

A better person be—

I can succeed because of Christ

Who gave His life for me.
