Such were some of you

Maybe you’ve seen me before,
walking In some wicked way.
And though your judgment was just my friend,
I can no longer walk that way

Maybe you question my meaning,
How can someone change so fast?
I’m here to tell you that was a lifetime ago.
This new life forever lasts.

Such were some of you, Such were some of you, Such were some of you…
…that was me.
Such were some of you, Such were some of you, Such were some of you…
…you no longer be.

You say I took the easy way out.
That doesn’t bother me none.
His yoke is easy, His burden is light.
In His perfect will it was done!

Now I sing hallelujah when oppressed.
I’m not worried about the flesh.
Death can’t claim a soul that’s been saved,
Only skin and bones go to the grave

Such were some of you, Such were some of you, Such were some of you…
…that was me.
Such were some of you, Such were some of you, Such were some of you…
…you no longer be.

By daily grace I’m forgiven
By His grace I talk
By His gift I am singing
By mercies new I walk
With a lamp unto my feet
I step humble and true
With the constant reminder.
that such were some of you.
