The Gospel Awakening ‎#45

45. Oh, 'Tis Wonderful!

1. When I was far away and lost,
Oh, 'tis wonderful!
That I was saved at such a cost!
Oh, 'tis wonderful!

Chorus:
Oh, 'tis wonderful!
Oh, 'tis wonderful,
That Jesus gave His life for me!
Oh, 'tis wonderful!

2. I once was blind, but now I see;
Oh, 'tis wonderful!
Was bound by sin, but now am free;
Oh, 'tis wonderful! [Chorus]

3. My guilt was all I had to bring;
Oh, 'tis wonderful!
Yet I was made His love to sing;
Oh, 'tis wonderful! [Chorus]

4. This great salvation all may share;
Oh, 'tis wonderful!
Thro'out the world the message bear;
Oh, 'tis wonderful! [Chorus]

5. Come, sinner, now, and seek His grace
Oh, 'tis wonderful!
And find in Him a resting place;
Oh, 'tis wonderful! [Chorus]
