The day you were saved

1 Think of the time when you knelt at the cross,
Praying for cleansing from sin and its dross;
Weary of burdens that long had enslaved,
Do you remember the day you were saved?

Refrain:
Will you return to the Christ you once knew?
Will you obey Him who suffered for you?
Think how His banner once over you waved,
Do you remember the day you were saved?

2 Long you have wandered the dark, downward road,
Far from the joys of your Father’s abode;
Jesus there found you by evil depraved,
Do you remember the day you were saved? [Refrain]

3 Sad was your life and devoid of all peace;
Tempted, you cried for a friend to release;
Jesus appeared with the help that you craved,
Do you remember the day you were saved? [Refrain]

4 Can you forget how he saved you from sin,
Gave you His Spirit to wash you within;
Nerved you with strength as the tempter you braved,
Do you remember the day you were saved? [Refrain]
