Lyrics Iris DeMent – I Never Shall Forget The Day

Long years ago when out in sin
I had no hope, no peace within
Down on my knees in agony
I prayed to Jesus and He gladly set me free

I never shall forget the day
When all the burdens of my soul were rolled away
It made me happy, glad and free
I’ll sing and shout it, God means everything to me

Now I can feel Him at my side
My feeble steps He comes to guide
When trials come, He comforts me
Through Him o’er sin I have the victory

I never shall forget the day
When all the burdens of my soul were rolled away
It made me happy, glad and free
I’ll sing and shout it, God means everything to me

Oh, sinner come to Jesus now
At His dear feet just humbly bow
Confess to Him your every sin
He’ll save and cleanse you, give you peace and joy within

I never shall forget the day
When all the burdens of my soul were rolled away
It made me happy, glad and free
