In loving kindness Jesus came
my soul in mercy to reclaim
And from the depths of sin and shame
through grace He lifted me
Refrain:
From sinking sand He lifted me
with tender hand, he lifted me
From shades of night to plains of light
O praise His name, he lifted me
He called me long before I heard
before my sinful heart was stirred
But when I took Him at His word
forgiven He lifted me
Now on a higher plain I dwell
and with my soul I know tis well
Yet how or why I cannot tell
through grace He lifted me
