The Lord he is my light and my salvation

He is the truth and the author of creation

It happened one day I was down and out

His spirit hit me and it made me want to shout

Jesus forgive me for the things I do

Jesus I’ll do what you want me to

Oh God, please help me I am living in a world of sin

Sometimes I am tempted and I feel like giving in

But your truth it hit me like a flaming arrow

It chilled my bones right down to the marrow

Jesus forgive me for the things I do

Jesus I’ll do what you want me to

Oh Lord your words most people do not recognize

Oh Lord your truth brings tears of joy to me eyes

Cause it happened one day I was down and out

His Spirit hit me and made me want to shout

Jesus forgive me for the things I do

Jesus I’ll do what you want me to
