Once I was lost and tempest-tossed, I didn't know where to go;

Christ came along, forgave every wrong; that is why I love Him so.

Jesus saved me, I want the world to see,

He changed my life away from that strife, to be what He wants me to be.

Soon He's coming, with Him I'll e'er abide,

And I'll smile all the while He's by my side.

I will smi---le, all the whi---le, He's by--- my--- si---de.
