Once I Was Far 'Way From the Lord
"Who once were far off have been brought near in the blood of Christ." - Eph 2:13
VERSE 1
Once I was far 'way from the Lord,
I frustrate Him with my manners
But now Jesus hath sav'd me
CHORUS
Oh, how sweet shall it be
Sweet oh sweet it shall be
Oh, how sweet shall it be
For Jesus to dwell within me.
VERSE 2
Now indignation and anger
Satan now bound me with its chain
Jesus had now cut the chain.
CHORUS
Oh, how sweet shall it be
Sweet oh sweet it shall be
Oh, how sweet shall it be
For Jesus to dwell within me.
VERSE 3
Lusts of the world now fill'd my hearts
And all sorts of arrogancy
Now all burnt by spirit's fire.
CHORUS
Oh, how sweet shall it be
Sweet oh sweet it shall be
Oh, how sweet shall it be
For Jesus to dwell within me.
VERSE 4
Now I am free from depression
From all sorts of lukewarmness
Oh praise Jehovah with me.
CHORUS
Oh, how sweet shall it be
Sweet oh sweet it shall be
Oh, how sweet shall it be
For Jesus to dwell within me.
VERSE 5
I am singing just everyday
In happiness I jump and dance
It's by the Spiritual pow'r.
CHORUS
Oh, how sweet shall it be
Sweet oh sweet it shall be
Oh, how sweet shall it be
For Jesus to dwell within me.
VERSE 6
Thy precious blood now cleanseth me
The water of life in me flow
My salvation now is full.
CHORUS
Oh, how sweet shall it be
Sweet oh sweet it shall be
Oh, how sweet shall it be
For Jesus to dwell within me.
VERSE 7
All ye my brothers and friends
Who dare this deliverance neglect?
To Him salvation is free.
CHORUS
Oh, how sweet shall it be
Sweet oh sweet it shall be
Oh, how sweet shall it be
For Jesus to dwell within me.
