Lyrics

I once was load­ed down with sin,
But Je­sus came along;
Hallelujah, hal­le­lu­jah!
Now I am free and in my heart,
I have a hap­py song;
Hallelujah, praise His name!

Refrain

Hallelujah, praise His ho­ly name!
Hallelujah, He’s ev’ry day the same;
My sins are all for­giv­en,
I’m on my way to Hea­ven,
I’ll shout His name for­ev­er:
Praise His name!

How ma­ny times I stum­bled,
Bearing such a hea­vy load;
Hallelujah, hal­le­lu­jah!
But Je­sus took my burdens,
Led me to the nar­row road;
Hallelujah, praise His name!

Refrain

The grace of God is flow­ing from
The cross of Cal­va­ry:
Hallelujah, hal­le­lu­jah!
I’m happy, for I know that there
Is grace enough for me;
Hallelujah, praise His name!
