I never knew what real peace meant
Until His peace He gave.
I never knew how lost I was
Until He came to save.

I never knew how to forgive
Until He pardoned me.
I never felt so clean within,
Till I was malice free.

I never knew what real joy meant
Until His joy I knew.
I never scaled the blessed heights
Until Christ thrilled me through.

I never knew what real friends were
Until His life touched mine.
I never knew a friend could be
Like Him, my Friend divine.
