I Never Shall Forget the Day - Iris DeMent

Long years ago when out in sin

I had no hope, no peace within

Down on my knees in agony

I prayed to Jesus and He gladly set me free

I never shall forget the day

When all the burdens of my soul were rolled away

It made me happy, glad and free

I’ll sing and shout it, God means everything to me Now I can feel Him at my side

My feeble steps He comes to guide

When trials come, He comforts me Through Him o’er sin I have the victory

I never shall forget the day

When all the burdens of my soul were rolled away

It made me happy, glad and free

I’ll sing and shout it, God means everything to me Oh, sinner come to Jesus now

At His dear feet just humbly bow

Confess to Him your every sin

He’ll save and cleanse you, give you peace and joy within

I never shall forget the day

When all the burdens of my soul were rolled away

It made me happy, glad and free
