1 Once I was blind to gospel light,
My Lord I did not know;
But when I prayed he set me right,
Praise the Lord, it’s so.

Refrain:
Praise the Lord, it’s so,
Praise the Lord, it’s so;
Once I was blind, but now I see,
Once I was bound, but now I’m free;
Thru Christ I shout the victory,
Praise the Lord, it’s so.

2 My Savior broke old Satan’s chain,
He had to let me go;
For Christ came in my life to reign,
Praise the Lord, it’s so. [Refrain]

3 As I went on to sing and shout,
I found an inward foe;
The Holy Spirit burned him out,
Praise the Lord, it’s so. [Refrain]

4 My heart is filled with perfect love,
I feel its ebb and flow;
I’m happy on my way above,
Praise the Lord, it’s so. [Refrain]
