Lyrics

Once I was blind to Gos­pel light,
My Lord I did not know;
But when I prayed He set me right,
Praise the Lord, it’s so.

Refrain

Praise the Lord, it’s so,
Praise the Lord, it’s so;
Once I was blind, but now I see,
Once I was bound, but now I’m free;
Thro’ Christ I shout the vic­to­ry,
Praise the Lord, it’s so.

My Sav­ior broke old Sa­tan’s chain,
He had to let me go;
For Christ came in my life to reign,
Praise the Lord, it’s so.

Refrain

As I went on to sing and shout,
I found an in­ward foe;
The Ho­ly Spir­it burned him out,
Praise the Lord, it’s so.

Refrain

My heart is filled with per­fect love,
I feel its ebb and flow;
I’m happy on my way ab­ove,
Praise the Lord, it’s so.
