1. I remember the time,
When in darkness I wandered,
On the mountains of sin,
I had traveled so long,
Like the prodigal son,
All my goods I had squandered,
But the Savior came in,
And He gave me a song.
2. Just a sinner was I,
Far away from my Savior,
With no hope of reward,
At the end of the way,
But the Savior came down,
And He gave me His favor,
Now I’m singing His praise,
For He saved me that day.
3. I can never forget,
When He spoke to me gently,
In the fountain of life,
There’s a balm for your soul,
So I heeded His voice,
He was speaking intently,
Through His marvelous grace,
I am happy and whole.
Chorus: I can tell you now, the time,
I can take you to the place,
Where the Lord saved me,
By His wonderful grace,
But I cannot tell you how,
And I cannot tell you why,
But He’ll tell me all about,
It in the by and by.
