1 The world was in darkness in sin and shame;
Mankind was lost, and then Jesus came.
He carried our sins to Calvary's tree,
He hung there, and bled there for you and me.
Chorus
Thank You Lord, for saving my soul.
Thank You Lord, for making me whole.
Thank You Lord, for giving to me,
Thy great salvation so rich and free.
2. Lord Jesus came down from His throne on high;
Ready to live, and willing to die.
For all of the pain and suffering He bore,
I'll love Him and thank Him forever more.
