I Once Was A Stranger Christian Song Lyrics in English

I once was a stranger
to grace and to God,
I knew not my danger
and felt not my load;
though friends spoke in rapture
of Christ on the tree,
Jehovah Tsidkenu
was nothing to me.

Like tears from the daughters
of Zion that roll,
I wept when the waters
went over His soul;
yet thought not that my sins
had nailed to the tree
Jehovah Tsidkenu;
„twas nothing to me.

When free grace awoke me
by light from on high,
then legal fears shook me,
I trembled to die;
no refuge, no safety
in self could I see,
Jehovah Tsidkenu
my Saviour must be.

My terrors all vanished
before the sweet name,
my guilty fears banished,
with boldness, I came
to drink at the fountain,
life-giving and free,
Jehovah Tsidkenu
is all things to me.

E‟en treading the valley,
the shadow of death,
this watchword shall rally
my faltering breath;
for when from life‟s fever
my God sets me free,
Jehovah Tsidkenu
my death song shall be
