I once denied the love of God and walked away.

I once denied the love of God and walked away. I turned my back on Him; I thought that I could live my life and leave Him there, Denying Him within.

But the Lord turned within my spirit And He kissed me with kisses of love. Now I'll shout to all who can hear it, " I love Him, Jesus Christ my Lord."

My heart was hard, my eyes were closed, I didn't see The hold He had on me. So trying the world and other things to find myself, I just found misery.

Then the Lord turned within my spirit And He kissed me with kisses of love. Now I'll shout to all who can hear it, " I love Him, Jesus Christ my Lord."

His conquering love was stronger than my stubborn will, Yet gentle like a dove. Like a wax before a glowing fire He melts the heart; I could not fight His love.

When the Lord turned within my spirit And He kisses with kisses of love. Then my songs and my praises are flowing, " I love Thee, Jesus Christ my Lord."
