When I begin to think about
What Jesus did for me
I always must remember
The day He set me free 

My sins were overwhelming
I couldn’t find my way
I tried so many other things
That just led me astray

But Jesus said He’d rescue me
From the depths of sin
I needed to escape my past
And find some peace within

Oh, what a merciful Savior
Oh, what grace divine
Jesus is my answer
Jesus now is mine

So I sat down and prayed a prayer
And asked Him in my heart
There was no doubt He touched me
As I felt Him from the start

From that day on He stayed with me
I grew in His embrace
And now I trust Him every day
To cover me with grace

My heart shouts out His praises
As I lift my voice in song
He’s all I ever needed
With Him I can’t go wrong

Oh, what a merciful Savior
Oh, what grace divine
Jesus is my answer
Jesus now is mine
