This world possessed me.

It tried to keep me from Your light.

And all the time, life seemed to rhyme.

Sometimes, it even turned out right.

Still, my life was dark as night!

Even then,

I felt You there.

I knew You always cared.

Your pow’r was greater,

than this world’s strongest hold on me.

You sent Your Son to be the One

to bleed and die on Calvary.

Now, new daylight sets me free.

Evermore,

my Savior lives.

His strength He always gives.

So . . .

Jesus, my Lord Jesus,

now, I can call You Lord.

By Your Holy Spirit’s pow’r,

and by Your precious love each hour,

I’ve giv’n my heart to You.

Jesus, my Lord Jesus,

Yes, I can call You Lord.

By You bearing all my shame,

and by Your precious, holy name,

I’ve put my trust in You.

Jesus, my Lord Jesus,

yes, I can call You Lord.

Jesus, my Lord Jesus,

yes, I will call You Lord!
