Saved For Service

Author: Ora A. Newlin Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Once I doubted much the Holy Word Refrain First Line: Saved for service is my song today Lyrics: 1 Once I doubted much the Holy Word, Questioned sermons which I seldom heard, Till my soul the Holy Spirit stirred: Now I’m saved. Refrain: Saved for service is my song today, Blest for blessing is the Gospel way, Bring to Jesus someone now astray, Saved to serve. 2 Once I stumbled at the many creeds, Boasted often of my moral deeds, Till I came to see my soul’s deep needs: Now I’m saved. [Refrain] 3 Once I looked upon the church with scorn, Disregarded those who came to warn, Till I heard Again ye must be born: Now I’m saved. [Refrain] 4 Once I drank the dregs of moral dross, Sought for gains that in the end are loss, Till I met the Savior at the cross: Now I’m saved. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Once I doubted much the Holy Word]
