Since, Lord, thy mighty grace did call
A bloody, persecuting Saul,
Let none despair—here God displays
His sovereign power—behold he prays.
The soul that's truly born of God
Delights to run the heavenly road;
He mourns for sin. and hates the ways
Which lead to death—behold he prays.
Now wisdom's ways are his delight,
And Christ is precious in his sight;
With shame he views his ill-spent days,
And now—behold the sinner prays.
Grace is the theme his soul explores;
A God in Christ his soul adores;
Before the cross his fears he lays,
And now to God—behold he prays.
He flies from works to Jesu's blood,
Yet proves by works he's born of God:
He runs with joy in Zion's ways,
And to his God—behold he prays.
In heaven each praying soul shall see
Salvation was both rich and free;
And through eternal ages raise
Their song to great Jehovah's praise.
