1.  There was a time in my life

When I felt there was none by my side

To whom could I go for help and I cried

“Who can be my friend and Guide?”

I spent everyday in despair

Alone, discouraged and sad

I called out, “O God, will not You help me?”

Jesus came reassuringly near.

CHORUS

He touched me in the depth of my heart

And filled me with a glorious joy

He has made me His love and His kindness enjoy

He’ll never from me depart.

2.As I reflect on my past

How I praise Him for saving my life

Well-nigh I was lost through sin and its strife

In wretched a state, outcast

I felt I had eaten the fruit

Of death; my Life seemed destroyed

But Jesus, my Lord, my soul’s Beloved

Came to me as the fruit of new life.

3.O what a comfort I feel

Now in Christ Who His grace does afford

And over my life, He reigns as the Lord

His love so profound, so real

Though sickness afflicted me sore

To Him I knew I could flee

And faithful as One Who never fails me

Jesus came and my health did restore.

4.What an abundance of life

I receive being risen with Christ

In Him I am hid; I’m strengthened with might

Through Him Who in me abides

For God has amazingly shown

On me His measureless love

Through filling me with the Holy Spirit

Making me His possession, His own.
