Poor sinner altho’ ye hae much to regret,
And many a sin that ye canna’ forget
The Saviour can make ye as white as the snaw
For Jesus still loves ye in spite o' it a’
Chorus
In spite o’ them a’, aye in spite o’ them a’
The Saviour still loves ye in spite o’ them a’
Tho’ the whole world despise ye and turn ye awa’
Jesus loves ye, still loves ye, in spite o’them a’
Your sins may be high as the clouds in the sky
And number as many as sands on the shore
But God will forgive and as long as ye live
Transgressions and sins He’ll remember no more
When weary and lanely and heart-sair and sad
When sin and its pleasures can ne’er make ye glad
When others forsake ye or drive ye awa’
The Saviour still loves ye in spite o’ them a’
The thocht o' yer mither brings tears to yer e'e
Ye still mind the nichts when ye knelt by her knee
It’s lang since ye left her, she’s maybe awa’
But Jesus still loves ye, in spite o’ it a’
