THERE IS A VOICE THAT MUST BE HEARD
There is a song that must be sung;
There is a name that must be lifted high.
There is a treasure more than gold,
There is a King upon the throne;
There is One whose praise will fill the skies.
His name is Jesus, Friend of sinners,
Jesus, Jesus, Friend of mine.
There is a peace that calms our fears,
There is a love stronger than death;
There is a hope that goes beyond the grave.
There is a Friend who won’t let go,
There is a heart that beats for you;
There is one name by which we are saved.
When I was captive to my fears,
You were the One who came to me,
You set me free.
Paul Oakley
