Alexander's Hymns No. 4 ‎#112

112. He Turned My Life Around

1 Once I was speeding onward
In paths of sin and wrong,
My heart had naught of gladness,
My soul had naught of song;
‘Twas then the blessed Saviour
Upon my way I found,
He saved me and redeemed me
And turned my life around.

Refrain:
And turned my life around,
And turned my life around,
My blessed loving Saviour has turned my life around,
And turned my life around,
And turned my life around,
My blessed loving Saviour has turned my life around.

2 Once I thought not of heaven,
Of mother or of home,
In paths of sin and folly
I loved afar to roam;
Now songs of jubilation
Within my soul resound,
Since Christ my soul has ransomed
And turned my life around. [Refrain]

3 No longer do I wander
In paths of sin today,
My soul is filled with glory
As on I press my way;
And I rejoice in freedom,
No longer I am bound;
I tread the way to heaven,
Christ turned my life around. [Refrain]
