He Set Me Free

HE SET ME FREE

Oh, how well I can remember when in my sin I’d wander;
My search for peace and joy just seemed in vain.
But one day I heard the message of mansions over yonder;
I trusted Christ and I was born again.

	He set me free, my sins are all forgiven;
	His blood has washed them all away.
	He set me free, I’m going soon to heaven;
	I know I’ll see my Lord some day.

Oh, how often I’m discouraged when Satan tries to tell me
My sins and past aren’t really washed away.
But when Jesus said, “It’s finished” upon the cross of Calvary,
The price for all my sins He paid that day.

	These words written to “Don’t Love Tonight.”
