Long years ago when out in sin I had no hope, no peace within Down on my knees in agony I prayed to Jesus and He gladly set me free I never shall forget the day When all the burdens of my soul were rolled away It made me happy, glad and free I'll sing it, shout it, God means everything to me O sinner come to Jesus now At His dear feet just humbly bow Confess to Him your every sin He'll save and cleanse you, give you peace and joy within I never shall forget the day When all the burdens of my soul were rolled away It made me happy, glad and free I'll sing it, shout it, God means everything to me
