If I were not saved by God, I would still be drifting in this world,

struggling hard and painfully in sin, every day gets bleak and hopeless.

If I were not saved by God, I’d still be crushed below the devil’s feet,

snared in sin and its enjoyments, ignorant of what my life would be.

If I were not saved by God, I’d be without my blessings here today,

much less know why we should live on or the meaning of our lives.

If I were not saved by God, I’d still be confused about my faith,

still in empty space passing the days, unaware in whom to put my faith.

I have finally understood God’s loving hand holds mine as we go.

I would never go and lose my way ’Cause I’m on this brilliant course to stay.

I have finally understood God’s intent, earnest to man.

False impressions fully removed. I will give my flesh and soul to God.
