A wretched though I be
Striving here and there
To find a rest maybe
And die with a heart that's bear
Jesus saw me
As I am
He lifted me
Farther than
I could dream
To stand at the shores of the stream
Lost in deep darkness
Nothing I could see
A torch overcame blindness
Then I saw Jesus standing beside me
In the world I had lived
Submerged in pleasures that fade
From it I have leaved
To Jesus, the everlasting shade
Stone hearted I was
A heart of flesh I have
I can now smile without a pause
Jesus Christ has given me love
I can't keep mute
But stand and tell the world
How Jesus gave me the saving suite
That the world may seek the word
