A Testimony

A TESTIMONY I was lost in sin when Jesus found me; He cleansed me within, His love surrounds me; Now I am forgiven, each day’s a victory. I trust in His name, He’s so forgiving; He’s always the same, in me He’s living; His love I can claim, it’s such a mystery. Though I don’t know why His love He gave me, And it often makes me cry to think He’d save me, Still I know that when I die, I will live on high In the mansion He’s prepared; I’ll be so glad when I get there! Oh what a day ‘twill be when up in glory His dear face I see and tell the story Of His love for me that day at Calvary. I will sing and shout of Christ my Savior; He has brought me out of sin’s disfavor; I will never doubt the change that He has made. When I pray and cry, the Savior hears me; Even when I die, He’ll still be near me; How can I deny the price for me He paid? I know when I fail He’ll not forsake me, For His mercy will prevail, and He will take me Back into His arms again, wipe away the stain, Set me on my feet and send me on my way to walk again. Oh, what a Christ Divine whose love’s unending Through all years of time my soul defending; I’m so glad He’s mine for now and ever more. These words written to “Strangers In The Night.”
