The Gospel Awakening ‎#95

95. From Death Unto Life

1. Till I learned to love thy name,
Lord, Thy grace denying,
I was lost in sin and shame,
Dying, Dying, Dying!

Refrain:
This is now my constant theme,
This my favorite story.
Jesus' blood avails for me,
Glory, Glory, Glory!

2. Nothing could the world impart,
Darkness held no morrow;
In my soul and in my heart,
Sorrow, Sorrow, Sorrow!

Refrain:
This is now my constant theme,
This my favorite story.
Jesus' blood avails for me,
Glory, Glory, Glory!

3. When I learned to love Thy name,
O thou meek and lowly,
Rapture kindled to a flame,
Holy, Holy, Holy!

Refrain:
Hallelujah, grace is free,
I will tell the story.
Jesus' blood hath made me free,
Glory, Glory, Glory!

4. Henceforth shall creation ring
With Salvation's story
Till I rise with Thee to sing,
Glory, Glory, Glory!

Refrain:
Hallelujah, grace is free,
I will tell the story.
Jesus' blood hath made me free,
Glory, Glory, Glory!
