I was lost in sin so long with no one to guide my way
My soul was in darkness had been there for many a day
In that little community church yard I heard that gospel song
(I went inside) I went inside to kneel and pray
Oh, I kneeled down (oh, I kneeled down)
And prayed to my Savior (prayed to my Savior)
That He might hear (that He might hear)
And would accept me (and would accept me)
And then I felt (then I felt) the Holy Spirit (Holy Spirit)
I knew my soul (I knew my soul) was saved in me
In that little community church house
That's where we sang and prayed
We prayed to our Father to guide us on our way
All through life's long journey, we'll need His helping hand
(Until we reach) Until we reach that promised land
Oh, I kneeled down (oh, I kneeled down)
And prayed to my Savior (prayed to my Savior)
That He might hear (that He might hear)
And would accept me (and would accept me)
And then I felt (the I felt) the Holy Spirit (Holy Spirit)
I knew my soul (I knew my soul) was saved in me
In that little community church house among my many friends
I can hear them praying for me and the preacher said, "Amen"
And the vision there before me, it was my Savior's face
(I knew that) I knew that I was saved by grace
Oh, I kneeled down (oh, I kneeled down)
And prayed to my Savior (prayed to my Savior)
That He might hear (that He might hear)
And would accept me (and would accept me)
And then I felt (the I felt) the Holy Spirit (Holy Spirit)
I knew my soul (I knew my soul) was saved in me (saved in me)
