                 Oh, Jesus beloved, my blessed, Savior Lord,
                For you I abandoned the crooked path of sin;
             I am here to serve you for your love has restored me,
              ///Once I did Rot love you/// but Lord I do so now.
                             CHORUS
              When I reach the heavens, there I shall surely sing:
              ///1 was vile, unworthy/// but Jesus has saved me.
                               2
              I love you, oh, Christ, because in your endless love,
             You bore the defilements, embarrassment, and pain;
           Crown of thorns and needles, you wore and suffered for me,
              ///Once I did not love you/// but Lord I do so now.
                               3
                In life and in death I will always love the Lord,
             And with songs of glory my voice will give you praise;
              Because you, oh, Jesus, gave your life on the cross,
              ///Once I did not love you/// but Lord_ I do so now.
                               4
                 In holy sweet dwellings of everlasting joy,
                 To Jesus Redeemer, the everlasting Lamb;
                  I shall sing forever, in an eternal chorus!
              ///Once I did not love you/// oh, Lord I do so now.

                   Ps 70.4 CONSECRATION/ Ps 16.7 MEDITATION
               Oh, my Redeemer, what a Friend Thou art to me!
                  Oh, what a refuge I have found in Thee;
          When the way was dreary, and my heart was sore oppressed,
              Twas Thy voice that lulled me, to a calm sweet rest.
