- While broken-hearted, scarred
with sin,
While walking wretchedly in shame,
I felt a love that sought to win,
I heard a voice that called my name.
Yes, Jesus, Lover of my soul,
Gave me the greatest valentine:
He promised there to make me whole,
In love He asked, �Will you be Mine?�
- He wooed me in such tender ways,
He promised to protect, provide,
His all He pledged with loving gaze,
That I should e�er with Him abide.
He gave me glimpses of His grace,
The splendors that around Him shine;
With ardent, longing, fervent face,
In love He asked, �Will you be Mine?�
- Could I His offered love refuse?
Could I His yearning cast aside?
For I was asked, and I must choose:
A blackened soul or spotless bride.
To Him that bled to make me free
I could but say, �I will be Thine�;
Yes, Jesus shed His love on me,
Such love that asks, �Will you be Mine?�
- Can I such wondrous love repay?
A thousand years can never earn
Such love as this; but this I may:
With all to love Him in return.
�Tis bliss to know I dwell within
The ocean of His love divine�
Such love that sought my heart to win,
Such love that asked, �Will you be Mine?�
- Oh, weary one, can you not see?
The Son of God has called your name;
Ye lonely, listen to His plea,
For you, yes, even you He came.
He wants to fill your broken heart,
Your hurt to heal, do not decline;
To you He would His love impart�
In love He asks, �Will you be Mine?�
