FROM SIN AND DEATH I'M FREE!
Don Fortner
(Tune:
O For A Thousand Tongues #46 CM)
I long
pursued the path of sin,
As if
under a spell.
A
rebel, hating God, unclean,
Madly,
I ran to hell!
But
God, who rich in mercy is,
(For His great love to me!),
Saved
me by His almighty grace.
From
sin and death I'm free!
He gave
me faith in Jesus Christ,
Who
lived and died for me,
Imputes
to me His righteousness,
And by
His grace keeps me.
Indwelt by His Spirit, I am
A new
creature today.
My
crimes, my guilt, and all my blame
My
Savior washed away! </P>
To God
alone I give all praise.
"Salvation's
of the Lord!"
I ask for grace to spend my days
Spreading this wondrous word.
