Music and words by Jordan Kauflin
I once was lost in darkest night,
Yet thought I knew the way.
The sin that promised joy and life
Had led me to the grave.
I had no hope that You would own
A rebel to Your will,
And if You had not loved me first,
I would refuse You still.
Hallelujah! all I have is Christ.
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life.
But as I ran my hellbound race,
Indifferent to the cost,
You looked upon my helpless state
And led me to the cross.
And I beheld God's love displayed:
You suffered in my place,
You bore the wrath reserved for me.
Now all I know is grace.
Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone
And live so all might see.
The strength to follow Your commands
Could never come from me.
O Father, use my ransomed life
In any way You choose,
And let my song forever be:
"My only boast is You."
