Lyrics
He's more than a story
More than a song
His love is gentle
Yet it's so strong
His grace everlasting
Just won't let you go
His unending mercy
A fountain of hope
Do you know the Saviour
Let me introduce you
Both now and forever
He's faithful and true
His name is Jesus
He died to give you life a new
Do you know the Saviour
Oh, how He loves you
He pardons the debtor
With Nothing to pay
He offers forgiveness
To those gone astray
He stands there waiting
At the door of your heart
And the moment you open
His peace He'll impart
His name is Jesus
He died to give you life anew
Do you know the Saviour
Oh, how He loves you
He loves you, He loves you
Oh, how He loves you

Meaning & Inspiration
Do You Know the Savior presents Jesus as more than a distant story or song. The verses describe his love, grace, mercy, forgiveness, and peace, then the chorus names him as the Savior who gives new life. Its question is openly evangelistic, but the lyric answers that invitation by identifying Christ’s character: faithful, true, patient, and ready to pardon those who have gone astray.
The image of Jesus waiting at the door closely echoes Revelation’s picture of Christ standing and knocking. The debtor with nothing to pay also supports the song’s emphasis on forgiveness as a gift rather than an achievement. By returning to “Oh, how He loves,” the ending places the appeal within divine love instead of fear. The song therefore offers a clear invitation to know Christ, grounding that invitation in mercy, the cross, new life, and the peace associated with welcoming him.
