1 I once was lost in sin’s dark night,
God’s love I spurned, I wandered from the light,
Rejecting Him, I knew not why,
The One who for my soul did bleed and die.

Refrain:
He ransomed me,
From sin He set me free,
He paid my debt on rugged Calvary;
He’s taken all my sin and guilt away,
And turned my darkness into day.

2 He drew me to His kind embrace,
One look into His blessed, loving face,
I saw the thorn prints on His brow,
Heart broken then I at His feet did bow. [Refrain]

3 I never dreamed I could possess
Such peace and joy as now is in my breast;
The Christ who set my poor soul free
Can save your soul and give you victory. [Refrain]
