2 Verse:
Once I was lost,
and fallen deep in sin;
Once was a slave
to passions fierce within.
Once was afraid
to meet an angry God,
But now I’m cleansed from
every stain thro’ Jesus’ blood.
3 Verse:
Once I was bound,
but now I am set free;
Once I was blind,
but now the light I see.
Once I was dead,
but now in Christ I live,
To tell the world around the peace
that He doth give.
