I’VE been to the water,
And I’ve been baptized,
I’ve been washed in the blood of the Lamb;
I’ve been changed from the creature
That I once was,
And redeemed is now my name.
I’ve been changed, I’ve been reborn,
All my life has been rearranged;
What a difference it makes
When the Lord has His way
All my life praise God, has been changed.
Tho’ my sins were as scarlet
They’re white as snow,
I was bound but today I am free;
I was lost in the darkness
But now I’m found,
I was blind but now I see.
When at last in His presence
I stand above,
He will wipe every tear from my eyes;
And I’ll thank Him for giving
A wretch like me,
A new home beyond the sky.
