The love of Jesus lifted me When in darkness I could not see I was sinking deep in the muck and mire And with my sin I was so tired
I was bowed down by the weight of my sin With no hope and only darkness within I could in no way lift up myself But Jesus saw my sad state and revealed himself
I asked Jesus to be merciful to me a sinner With his cleansing blood he made me a winner I gained the prize of being forgiven My sin burden lifted and my name written in heaven
My Savior promised to never forsake me or leave My heart's desire is to him to always cleave When I'm in trouble and see no way out He hears my cry and cares for me without a doubt
Psalms 40:2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
