76. I See It Differently Now

1 Before I knew Jesus my Lord
No joy could the world me afford;
But, oh, what a change, so sweet and so strange
Has come since to Him I’m restored!

Refrain:
I see it so diff’rently now!
With joy He doth richly endow;
I love Him still more than ever before,
I see it so diff’rently now.

2 I understood not that by grace
He could my transgressions efface,
And make my heart pure, from danger secure
And give me beside Him a place. [Refrain]

3 I knew not that He was so good,
Nor knew that all trouble He could
Remove from my heart, and sweet peace impart;
His great love was not understood. [Refrain]

4 Some things I do not understand,
But still I hold on to His hand;
Some day He will tell, and all will be well
With me in yon beautiful land. [Refrain]
