The Day When I Found Christ
The Day When I Found Christ
In fallen countenance, I lift mine eyes
No need for vain self-righteousness disguise
The greatest gift he bought without a price
Who will have mercy and not sacrifice
Refrain
I bow in faith and lift my weary eyes
My life is blessed the day when I found Christ
He came to me when I was in despair
I found no refuge for my soul to care
The heavy burden I could no more bear
Then in much sorrow my sin I declare
I never knew such love so fair and true
Nor even think his grace to me is due
In lieu my sin, his holiness I view
For He has found me and my life made new
And when someday my Sovereign Lord I'll meet
Beneath his throne to worship at his feet
A rebel turned to victor in defeat
Amazed to find my empty chaff has wheat
