It Is Wonderful To Me!

Representative Text

1 Once was I lost in sin,
Now I can see;
Oh, what a change took place,
When grace found me.

Refrain:
Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!
Out of darkness into light,
I from sin am free!
Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!
Out of darkness into light,
And liberty!

2 He bore my load of sin,
On Calv’ry’s tree,
Jesus, His life-blood gave
To set me free. [Refrain]

3 If saved you now would be,
Trust Him today;
Wondrous will be the change
When you obey. [Refrain]
