Once upon a time I was a sinner
Caught up in a world of shame
I didn't have much hope
And I really couldn't cope

With the fact that I just could not change
Then I heard about a man named Jesus
They said He was the only Son of God
Because of His great love

He came down from above 
And sacrificed His life upon a cross
They told me if I'd just accept His mercy
And ask Him to come in my heart

He'd wipe away my sin
And give me peace within
And I would have a brand new start
I cried out and I asked Him to forgive me

I told Him I would make Him Lord
And now I have new life
'Cause Jesus made things right 
I'll live hap'ly ever after evermore
