I was heavy, burdened down
The hand of Satan had me bound
I cried out to Jesus, He had compassion on me
When His love came rushing in and He took away my sin
I was changed from that old boy l used to be

Now l've been touched by those hands that were hanging
From a tree on a lonely hill that day
He put a song in my heart that keeps ringing
It was Jesus who made me this way!

The world can take all the things that l've worked for through the years
And they can take this old house I'm living in
But there's one thing, I know, they'll never take away from me
And that's Jesus who's living within!
