Hymn
If I Were Not Saved by God
If I were not saved by God,
I would still be drifting in this world,
struggling hard and painfully in sin,
every day gets bleak and hopeless.
If I were not saved by God,
I’d still be crushed
below the devil’s feet,
snared in sin and its enjoyments,
ignorant of what my life would be.
If I were not saved by God,
I’d be without
my blessings here today,
much less know why we should live on
or the meaning of our lives.
If I were not saved by God,
I’d still be confused about my faith,
still in empty space passing the days,
unaware in whom to put my faith.
I have finally understood
God’s loving hand holds mine as we go.
I would never go and lose my way
’cause I’m on
this brilliant course to stay.
I have finally understood God’s intent,
earnest to man.
False impressions fully removed,
I will give my flesh and soul to God.
