I Once, But Jesus

I once was lost in sin’s dark night,

But Jesus then showed me the way.

I once was blind and could not pray,

But Jesus gave my heart new sight.

I once had a robe stained with spite,

But Jesus sent new love my way.

I once was hungry every day,

But Jesus helped, he satisfied.

I once had no sweet song to sing,

But Jesus songs of praise did bring.

I once did not have peace in life,

But Jesus took away the strife.

I once had no good gift to give,

But Jesus now for you I’ll live.
