Lost I cried out in repentance
'Lord, please have mercy on me
All that I ask is Thy pardon
That Thou would'st save, redeem me'

Outside the cup seemed so perfect
But it had darkness within
'Till the bright light of Thy gospel
Exposed my folly and sin

Finding the joy of salvation
Filling my heart to the brim
Christ and Christ only my mainstay
All other pleasures grow dim
