What a day when Christ reached me

What a day when Christ reached me

And freely gave to me His Spirit!

What an hour and moment sweet

When Christ saved me—not by my merit!

Shed His blood upon the cross

Died to save the weak and lost;

This I saw and I believed

That Jesus died and rose for me!

Who could change a soul like mine?

The life I lived—God was so distant;

He arranged the day and time—

Salvation came

and in an instant!

Touched my sight; His light came in;

Words of light shined on my sins!

What a change my God has done!

I’m one with Christ

the risen Son!

Now I’m free—yes

free in Christ—

For all my chains my God has broken!

From that hold of sin and death

My God has freed! For He has spoken:

“If the Son has set you free

You are free

yes

free indeed!”

On the cross

Christ died for me

And bore my sins upon the tree!

Now I rest from all my strife

For all my works could never save me!

I depend on Christ my life

My Strength

my Hope

my Rock

my Safety!

Not of works—’tis all by grace!

Rest in Him—my Dwelling Place!

What supply my Savior gives

“Because He lives

I also live!”

Day by day

I now receive

Abundant grace

and without measure;

When I call His precious Name

He fills my heart with streams of pleasure!

Call His Name and take God in!

Let Him fill you to the brim!

Let His Spirit fill your soul

Till with His joy you overflow!
