I wrote the music and the first line of the chorus and turned to my friend Larry. He took the theme very personally and penned the wonderful words. Be sure and visit Larry's popular web site for more great music. - Elton, November 18, 1998
(Drum and Piano Introduction for 12 Measures)
(Verse 1)
I am alive,
For I've received the grace of God
As my own.
I testify
No greater love or healing pow'r
Have I known...
(Chorus 1)
I want you to know about Jesus:
He took away my sin,
By grace, I'm born again.
For peace evermore, turn to Jesus,
The One who offers life without end!
(Verse 2)
The fear I knew
Was gone the day I gave the Lord
all control.
His Word is true:
The Living Water overflows
In my soul!
(Chorus 2)
I want you to know about Jesus:
There is no greater Friend;
Salvation is in Him.
For peace evermore, turn to Jesus;
Receive the life that never will end!
(Bridge)
Don't let this present world enslave you;
Call out to Jesus -- He will save you.
There's peace and comfort
Which the Lord alone can give.
The Shepherd's calling you,
So turn to Him and live!
(Chorus 3)
I want you to know about Jesus:
There is no greater Friend;
Salvation is in Him.
For peace evermore, turn to Jesus;
Receive the life that never will end,
Complete, redeeming pardon from sin,
And let the joy of heaven begin!
