                 I am ready with all pleasure,
                To join with the hosts of faith;
               Jesus Christ gives me the courage,
                And without doubts I will win.
                          4
                 I will gain the joyful vict'ry,
                With the soldiers of the Lord;
                They will clad in greatest glory,
               All around the whole wide world.

               1s 42:1 FORGiVENEssiHeii 1ei:frGRACE

              I was sinking in darkness imprisoned,
             And they said I would never escape it;
            When Lord Jesus heard all of my groaning,
            He declared it, "This lost soul is now mine."
                       CHORUS
               Jesus Christ in His love freed me,
                  Glory to Him //Amen.//
                          2
               In the prison the Devil said to me,
              That he wanted to kill all of mankind;
            When the Savior heard all of my groaning,
           He said to me, "Now J've come to save you."

                          3
             Oh, how glorious that life is with Jesus,
             Giving praises and singing to our God;
           And by saying that I've been saved by grace,
               I am singing with great jubilation.
                          4
           This Church belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ,
             Jesus Christ said that He would return;
           Here in this Church are all of those convicts,
           Jesus freed them, they now live in great joy.
