I used to be so lonesome, I never had a friend
Always looking out for number one
Didn't know where I was going, didn't care where I had been
The life I lived had me on the run
One day Jesus found me and took my sin away
He showed me what I thought I'd never see
He put me in His family, and He's with me to this day
Let me tell you what salvation's done for me

Chorus:
I used to be a blind man, but now my vision's clear
Mercy came and drove the shame from me
There's peace of mind with Jesus that drives out every fear
I'm stronger than I thought I'd ever be
I can't tell you why He loves me, as bad as I had been
Why I'm worthy of this life of victory
I know I'm not a scholar just a sinner saved by grace
But I can tell you what salvation's done for me

One day when life is over, I'll go to my reward
Where Heaven waits for those who have been set free
With saints from all the ages, in the presence of our Lord
This is what salvation's done for me
