Lyrics

Once I wan­dered in dark­ness un­saved,
Till the Sav­ior came knock­ing at my heart,
And I op­ened the door, let Him in,
Now rich bless­ings to me He im­parts.

Refrain

I will ne­ver turn back,
He’s my light ev­ery day,
No I’ll ne­ver turn back,
For my Sav­ior is lead­ing the way.

Of His love I will sing ev­ery day,
Yes, I’ll sing of His won­drous pow­er to save,
For my Sav­ior is lead­ing the way,
To those man­sions of glo­ry above.

Refrain

In His ser­vice each day may I be,
Leading sin­ners to Je­sus to be healed
Thro’ the blood flow­ing from Cal­va­ry,
Till the light of His love is re­vealed.

Refrain

Healing bo­dy and soul by His blood,
And He keeps me each mo­ment by His pow­er,
I will walk in the light of His Word,
And be rea­dy to go any­where.
