HE RANSOMED ME

ONCE I WAS LOST IN DARKNESS BOUND
CHRIST TOUCHED MY HEART, NEW LIFE I FOUND
THE STING OF DEATH FOR ME HE PAID
THE GREATEST PRICE MY RANSOM MADE.

NEW GLORY SHINES IN EVERY PART
SINCE CHRIST MY LORD CAME IN MY HEART.
THE BLACKEST SIN, THE DARKEST NIGHT
IS WIPED AWAY BEFORE HIS SIGHT.

NOW GRACE DIVINE IN EACH DAY'S TASK
FILLS EVERY NEED FOR WHICH I ASK
SINCE I HAVE FOUND THIS GOD ABOVE
I'LL GLADLY SERVE THE LORD I LOVE.

CHORUS

HOW GLAD I AM MY SIN WAS PAID
HOW GLAD I AM A RANSOM MADE
IN JOYOUS PRAISE I NOW CAN SING
TO JESUS CHRIST MY LORD AND KING
--B. Pent

HE RANSOMED ME

Once I was lost
In darkness bound
Through grace in Christ
New life I found
The sting of death
For me was paid
The greatest price
For sin was made.

New glory shines
In every part
Since Christ my Lord
Came in my heart
The blackest sin
The darkest night
Has blown away
Before His sight.

Now grace divine
In every task
Fills all the need
For which I ask
Since I have found
This Lord of love
I'll gladly serve
This God above.

CHORUS
How glad I am
My sin was paid
How glad I am
A Ransom made
Oh what a song
I now can sing
Happy and free
Redeemed from sin
--B.Pent
