I once was lost in darkest night, yet thought I knew the way; the sin that promised joy and life had led me to the grave. I had no hope that you would own a rebel to your will, and if you had not loved me first, I would refuse you still.
But as I ran my hell-bound race, indiff'rent to the cost, you looked upon my helpless state and led me to the cross. And I beheld God's love displayed: you suffered in my place. You bore the wrath reserved for me; now all I know is grace.
Hallelujah, all I have is Christ! Hallelujah, Jesus is my life!
Now, Lord, I would be yours alone, and live so all might see the strength to follow your commands could never come from me. O Father, use my ransomed life in any way you choose, and let my song forever be: "My only boast is you!"
