Once a slave to sin and death,
Now free to walk as a loved child of God!
Once a leper, rejected and broken,
Now made whole, complete and accepted!
Once a dirty rag, tossed to one side,
Now a beloved Bride, unstained and untouched.
Once cowering and fearful, waiting for death,
Now a conqueror walking in faith.
Once a performer, desperate to meet a standard,
Now already accepted, with no need to perform.
Once invisible and unheard, no attention given,
Now He inclines His ear to hear and see me.
Once a blind person, seeking through darkness
Now sight restored and made new in the Light of the world.
Once a dead person walking, no way to save myself,
Now filled with resurrection life!
