Lyrics

Filled with my sin to the Sav­ior I came,
This pow­er has changed me,
All praise to His name;
Grace all suf­fi­cient He gives me each day;
Trusting, I fol­low where He leads the way.

Refrain

O what a change since He came to my heart!
O what a change since He bade sin de­part!
O what a change Je­sus wrought in my soul!
O what a change since His blood makes me whole!

Changed all my grief to a heart full of song,
And now I’m con­fid­ing in Him all day long;
Tender com­pas­sion and love He has shown,
Cleansed me and healed me,
And called me His own.

Refrain

When through the por­tals of glo­ry I’ve passed,
I then shall be changed to His im­age at last;
I shall be like Him in beau­ty to shine,
Ever to live in His pre­sence di­vine.
