"I Never Shall Forget The Day"


Long years ago when out in sin,
I had no hope no peace within;
Down on my knees in agony,
I prayed to Jesus and He gladly set me free.

I never shall forget the day,
When all the burdens from my soul were rolled away;
It made me happy, glad and free,
I'll sing it, shout it, for He's everything to me.

Oh, sinner come to Jesus now,
At His dear feet just humbly bow;
Confess to Him your every sin,
He'll save and cleanse you, give you peace and joy within.

I never shall forget the day,
When all the burdens from my soul were rolled away;
It made me happy, glad and free,
I'll sing it, shout it, for He's everything to me.

I never shall forget the day,
When all the burdens from my soul were rolled away;
It made me happy, glad and free,
