I want to tell my story of how Jesus took me in,
I wasn't really bad, but yet I was in sin.
My heart did not belong to God,
Still yet, I'd always pray.
I knew that I would soon begin,
To serve my God each day.
�
One night about two years ago,
I heard God speak to me.
He put me under conviction,
And would not let me be.
I'd go to bed and think each night,
And I could almost see,
Myself become a Christain,
From bonds of sin set free.
�
It was during a revival,
When I heard God speak to me,
Saying, take your child and go to church,
Rich blessings you'll receive.
You'll find you feel much better,
After going there for me.
I did as God had bade me,
Praise God, He set me free.
�
I sat two pews from the front,
Convicted and in dismay.
Jesus spoke these words to me,
Get to that alter and pray.
I prayed there at the alter,
And again at home that night,
I cried and prayed myself to sleep,
Till I woke in the early light.
�
I went again the next night,
And each night after that,
He blessed me every night I went,
There in the pew where I sat.
I'm now determined to make Heaven my home,
And live with Him on high,
I plan to meet my loved ones,
Way yonder in the sky.
He saved my soul from the depths of Hell,
That night when He called my name.
I yielded my heart and soul to Him,
And I have never been the same.
