Once It Was ft. Corinne Lewis Lyrics

Once it was the blessing

Now it is the Lord

Once it was the feeling

Now it is His Word

Once His gift I wanted

Now the Giver own

Once I sought for healing

Now Himself alone

Once was painful trying

Now is perfect trust

Once a half salvation

Now the uttermost

Once was ceaseless holding

Now He holds me fast

Once was constant drifting

Now my anchor's cast

All in all forever

Only Christ I'll sing

Everything is in Christ

And Christ is everything

Once it was my working

His it now shall be

Once I tried to use Him

Now He uses me

Once was what I wanted

Now what Jesus says

Once was constant asking

Now is endless praise

All in all forever

Only Christ I'll sing

Everything is in Christ

And Christ is everything

Once I hoped in Jesus

Now I know He's mine

Once my lamps were dying

Now they brightly shine

Once for death I waited

Now His coming hail

And my hopes are anchored

Safe within the veil
