Of course, I was somewhat familiar with this song -- but never really listened to the lyrics until, a few years ago, I attended the funeral of an 'older' lady from church. At the gravesite they played what they said was her favorite song. I think we were all a little surprised, but came away with a new appreciation.
The only thing I disagree with in the lyrics is when he proclaims "Never been a sinner, never sinned." We all know that we're all sinners, Victor, and it's because of Jesus that we are forgiven. Blessings!
...Norman did it well.
ReplyDeleteGreat lyrics and music. God bless, Tom.

ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteI hope he meant it as in once you have been forgiven it is like you never sinned.
I agree ... I took this to mean sinned against the 10 Commandments. But I take your point.
DeleteGod bless, Martha and Sandi.
