The Story of Faith

When first I came here

they spoke of Jesus

Such things I never had heard before

But in my heart was a new sensation

Past explanation

such peace and warmth.

My former troubles

all but forgotten

I left the bondage of earth unconsciously.

I saw their faces

so pure and gen’uine

My heart said

“Truly God is here!”

They said God wanted to get inside me

My life

my Savior

if I’d allow;

I’d never seen Him

I’d never known Him

I only knew this: “I need Him now!”

So with a pure heart I turned my being

Called

“O

Lord Jesus!” Asked Him to save me.

No other name is so sweet

so lovely;

From that day forth

so real to me!

No more encumb’rance

true rest I enter

No condemnation

I’m justified

Joined to the Savior

my life forever

I live to God now

by faith have life;

In Christ I glory

in Christ rejoicing

I’m one with Him

as a new creation

This is the story of my salvation

Such wond’rous love

such wond’rous song!
