I once was ignorant of grace Though living in its light; The things of earth held my embrace And captured all my sight. Though I was blind and dead in sin In love You called to me And gave my heart new life within, New eyes Your grace to see.
The Spirit then revealed to me My heart was fully tinged With strife and boundless enmity That soon would be avenged. But then I saw a God of grace So eager to forgive He let His Son die in my place That in Him I might live.
My heart was changed – I then admired The One I caused such loss For all that Justice had required Was finished on the cross. The Savior then became to me My joy and all-in-all And now into eternity Will never let me fall.
My soul must overflow in song Each time I call to mind That to my Jesus I belong When judgment I should find. O grant that I might always weep Because of mercy shown To one whose treason runs so deep Yet now is called Your own.
