Key: E^b

Chorus:

   B^b7    E^b

I never shall forget the day

                                                              F⁷        B^b7

When all the burdens of my soul were rolled away

                    E^b                                  E^b  B^b/D  C^m

It made me happy, glad and free

                    E^b/B^b                    B^b7                E^b

I’ll sing and shout it, for He’s everything to me

Verse I:

                     E^b

Long years ago          when out in sing

                                     F⁷             B^b7

I had no hope          no peace within

                     E^b                                    E^b  B^b/D  C^m

Down on my knees           in agony

                   E^b/B^b              B^b7                E^b

I prayed to Jesus and He gladly set me free

Verse II:

                 E^b

Now I can feel          Him by my side

                                           F⁷           B^b7

My feeble steps          He comes to guide

                    E^b                                              E^b  B^b/D  C^m

When trials come,          He comforts me

                     E^b/B^b               B^b7                  E^b

Thru faith in Him, o’er sin I have the victory

Verse III:

                    E^b

Oh, sinner, come          to Jesus now

                                           F⁷         B^b7

At His dear feet          just humbly bow

                   E^b                                        E^b  B^b/D  C^m

Confess to Him          your ev’ry sin

                         E^b/B^b                   B^b7                        E^b

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