I
I WAS ON THE SEA OF DEATH DRIFTING ONWARD IN DISTRESS
DIDN'T THINK I NEEDED JESUS IN MY SOUL.
I COULDN'T BEAR TO CLOSE MY PRIDE
THOUGHT THAT I WAS SATISFIED
PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME HE FOUND AND SAVED MY SOUL.
II
MANY TIMES I WENT IN DEBT FOR THE DRINK I COULD NOT QUIT.
AND OLD SATAN URGED ME ON TO BREAK THE LAW.
TORE MY LITTLE HOME APART BROKE MY DAD AND MOTHERS HEART.
NOW I LOVE GOD'S WAY OF LIVING BEST OF ALL.
III
SINNERS YOU CANNOT COMPARE ALL YOUR WORLDLY RICHES HEAR.
WITH ONE MOMENT OF REJOICING IN THE LORD.
FOR THIS EARTH WILL MELT AWAY
ON THAT GREAT AND AWFUL DAY
AND TEN THOUSAND TIMES IT'S WORTH IS MY REWARD.
CHORUS
OH I LOVE GOD'S WAY OF LIVING
OH YES I LOVE
I'M SO THANKFUL THAT I ACCEPTED WHEN HE CALLED.
HE HAS KEPT ME OUT OF JAIL HE HAS SAVED MY SOUL FROM HELL.
OH I LOVE GOD'S WAY OF LIVING BEST OF ALL.
