"O What a Savior" is a Southern gospel song penned by the Free Will Baptist musician Marvin P. Dalton in 1948.
Lyrics[edit]
Once I was straying in sin's dark valley,
No hope within could I see,
He searched through Heaven, and found a Savior
To save a poor lost soul like me.
O what a Savior, O hallelujah!
His heart was broken on Calvary,
His hands were nail scarred,
His
side was riven,
He gave His life-blood for even me.
He left the Father with all His riches,
With calmness sweet and serene,
Came down from Heaven and gave His life-blood,
To make the vilest sinner clean.
O what a Savior, O hallelujah!
His heart was broken on Calvary,
His hands were nail scarred,
His side was riven,
He gave His life-blood for even me.
Death's chilly waters I'll soon be crossing,
His hand will lead me safe o're,
I'll
join the chorus in that bright city,
And sing up there forever more.
O what a Savior, O hallelujah!
His heart was broken on Calvary,
His hands were nail scarred,
His side was riven,
He gave His life-blood for even me.

And sing up there for evermore.

Song Lyrics
Oh, What A Savior
by Ernie Haase, Signature Sound
Album: Bill Gaither's Best of Homecoming 2015
Verse 1
Once I was straying
In sin's dark valley
No hope within could I see
But they searched through Heaven
And found a Savior
To save a poor lost soul like me
Chorus
O what a Savior
O Hallelujah
His heart was broken
On Calvary
His hands were nail scared
His
side was riven
He gave His life's blood for even me
Verse 2
Death's chilly waters
I'll soon be crossing
But His hand will lead me safely o'er
Then I'll join that chorus
In that great city
I'll sing up there forever and ever more
Repeat Chorus
