Shall I Tell You Why I Ceased From Folly?
Why I Turned Away From Sin?
‘Twas Because The Love Of My Redeemer
Fully Won My Heart To Him.

This Is Why I Love My Savior,
Why I Love To Follow Him;
For He Died My Soul To Ransom,
And He Washed Me From My Sin.

Do You Ask Me Why I Seek No Pleasure
In The Things I Once Did Love?
‘Tis Because I’ve Tasted Life’s Pure River,
Flowing From The Throne Above.

Would You Bid Me Give To All A Reason
Of The Hope I Now Possess?
It Is Christ In Me The Hope Of Glory,
And His Perfect Holiness.

Though All Men May Look On Me With Wonder,
At The Change That’s Taken Place;
I Will Walk The Downward Road No Longer,
Bless The Lord For Saving Grace.
