1 When I was bound in sin and shame,
Jesus brought me out,
Jesus brought me out,
And to my rescue, lo, he came!
Jesus brought me out all right.

Refrain:
Jesus brought me out all right,
Jesus brought me out all right;
From darkness into perfect light,
Jesus brought me out all right.

2 When troubles overwhelmed my soul,
Jesus brought me out,
Jesus brought me out,
And when the waves did o’er me roll,
Jesus brought me out all right. [Refrain]

3 When in affliction’s trying hour,
Jesus brought me out,
Jesus brought me out,
And from the tempter’s subtle pow’r
Jesus brought me out all right. [Refrain]

4 Although the night was long and drear,
Jesus brought me out,
Jesus brought me out,
And from all danger, from all fear,
Jesus brought me out all right. [Refrain]
