If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17

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.
Refrain
