Rain, dark, gloom; no hope!
Broke hungry, and no hope!
alone, without God, in the world!
Why was I born into this world?
Broke hungry, and no hope!
alone, without God, in the world!
Why was I born into this world?
A man told me of light...
The life where this is no night!
I said, "Alaska?" "No," he told!
"You have to know Jesus to be bold!"
The life where this is no night!
I said, "Alaska?" "No," he told!
"You have to know Jesus to be bold!"
Then the day came, I read the Book.
Had to read twice, just had to look!
It said God Loved Me,
and gave His Son, so
My days would be light...
if the Son, I could know!
Had to read twice, just had to look!

if the Son, I could know!
I read, I read, up to my fill...
Trying to learn to do God's will.
It said I must have faith and confess,
Repent, be baptized, begin and confess.
When I repented, forgiveness He gave,
To free me from being a poor slave!

To free me from being a poor slave!
He has set on high, top of mountains to reach,
To take His Word, sinners to teach!
Eternal life, He gave me the gift;
Loving and teaching others, to lift.
To take His Word, sinners to teach!
Eternal life, He gave me the gift;

Praise His dear name,
and my praises ring!
He gave a new life,
and songs to sing!
and my praises ring!
He gave a new life,
and songs to sing!
