Oh! How blind I walked and lost I wandered
Far, far from my Savior!
But from heaven He came down, and His blood shed
To save such a poor sinner

It was on the cross, it was on the cross
Where one day I saw my sin punished in Jesus
It was there, by faith, that I opened my eyes
And now I rejoice in your Light

I heard about this unparalleled grace
Who brought our Jesus from heaven
But I made myself deaf, I didn't want to convert
To the Lord, who died for me on the cross

It was on the cross, it was on the cross
Where one day I saw my sin punished in Jesus
It was there, by faith, that my eyes opened
And now I rejoice in your Light

But one day I felt my sin, and I saw
Upon me the sword of the law
I ran away in a hurry, in Jesus I hid
And safe shelter in Him I found

It was on the cross, it was on the cross
Where one day I saw my sin punished in Jesus
It was there, by faith, that my eyes opened
And now I rejoice in your Light

How blessed, then, is this heart of mine
Knowing the exalted love
That led my Jesus to suffer on the cross
To save such a poor sinner

It was on the cross, it was on the cross
Where one day I saw my sin punished in Jesus
It was there, by faith, that my eyes opened
And now I rejoice in your Light
