Once I doubt­ed much the Ho­ly Word,
Questioned ser­mons which I sel­dom heard,
Till my soul the Ho­ly Spi­rit stirred:
Now I’m saved.

Refrain

Saved for ser­vice is my song to­day,
Blest for bless­ing is the Gos­pel way,
Bring to Je­sus some­one now as­tray,
Saved to serve.

Once I stum­bled at the ma­ny creeds,
Boasted oft­en of my mo­ral deeds,
Till I came to see my soul’s deep needs:
Now I’m saved.

Refrain

Once I looked up­on the church with scorn,
Disregarded those who came to warn,
Till I heard Again ye must be born:
Now I’m saved.

Refrain

Once I drank the dregs of mo­ral dross,
Sought for gains that in the end are loss,
Till I met the Sav­ior at the cross:
Now I’m saved.
