I am looking for the words to "He's a wonderful Savior", by Ellis Short. The first line is "Once in sin I had wandered". It was written in 1953.
Specifically, does anyone know the chorus?

Need Lyrics for "He's a wonderful Savior", by Ellis Short

I found these lyrics:

1.
Once in sin I had wandered, drifting farther in darkness
Till I heard of a Savior of Calvary;
Then I pleaded for mercy, and He saved me completely,
He's a wonderful Savior for even me.

2.
He's a wonderful Savior to redeem a lost sinner
And He truly will pardon all who believe;
Lay aside all your doubting, come to Jesus and trust Him,
Let Him into your heart friend, His joy receive.

3.
He will give your soul comfort in the time of your sorrow,
Ask the Savior to help you, He's always near;
He will lighten your burdens when the billows are raging,
He's a wonderful Savior, there's naught to fear.

Chorus
Savior, friend and guide, Calv'ry crucified,
Life-blood shed for me, set this captive free;
Love Him more each day, gave to Him full sway
Savior, setting free, rescued even me.

He's a wonderful Savior to die on Calv'ry.
There to give His own life-blood to set me free;
That's the reason I love Him, there's none above Him,
He's a wonderful Savior for even me.

Hope this helps! God bless!

Steve, you do a marvelous job of locating lyrics! Thank you. I do not know this one; I know one with a similar name: "He's a Wonderful Savior To Me" by Virgil & Blanche Brock, publ in 1918.
