Long years ago when out in sin I had no hope no peace within Down on my knees in agony I prayed to Jesus and He gladly set me free I never shall forget the day And all the burdens of my soul were rolled away It made me happy be glad and free I'll sing and shout it God means everything to me Now I can feel him at my side My fewer steps he comes to guide When trials come he comforts me To faith in him or sin I have a victory I never shall forget the day And all the burdens of my soul were rolled away It made me happy be glad and free I'll sing and shout it God means everything to me Oh sinner come to Jesus now At His dear feet just humbly bow Confess to Him your every sin He'll save and cleanse you give you peace and joy within I never shall forget the day And all the burdens of my soul were rolled away It made me happy be glad and free I'll sing and shout it God means everything to me
