Lyrics

I was a sin­ner on life’s road,
As lone­ly as could be,
When first I heard the Sav­ior’s voice
And felt His hand on me.

Refrain

When Je­sus laid His hand on me,
When Je­sus laid His hand on me,
My heart for­got its love for sin,
When Je­sus laid His hand on me.

The fields of sin I loved so well,
Were clothed with black­est night,
When Je­sus with His heal­ing touch
Restored my blind­ed sight.

Refrain

My soul had lost its love for pray­er
Thro’ sor­row, grief and pain,
Till Je­sus laid His hand on me,
And bade me live again.
