Charles H. Gabriel
In loving kindness Jesus came, my soul in mercy to reclaim
And from the depths of sin and shame, through grace He lifted me
*From sinking sand He lifted me, with tender hand He lifted me
From shades of night to plains of light, o praise His name He lifted me!
He called me long before I heard, before my sinful heart was stirred
But when I took Him at His word, forgiv’n He lifted me
(back to *)
Now on a higher plane I dwell, and with my soul I know ‘tis well
Yet how or why I cannot tell, He should have lifted me
(back to *)
