Subject: Lyr Add: Then I Looked Up (Unknown)
As sung by Pastor & Mrs. Buck Ledford, When I Get Home, LFLP 19

THEN I LOOKED UP

For many years I wandered outside the Master's fold
Beset by sin and death on every hand
I had no hope or gladness, I faced a future cold
My feet were sinking in the shifting sand

CHORUS
Then I looked up and saw my Savior, Christ the Lord
The one who died on Calvary's tree
I saw the blood and heard him whisper soft and low
"Oh yes, my child, I died for thee"

Before the cross of Calvary, repenting, I did bow
I told the Savior of my sin and shame
How I had shunned His pleading and gone my selfish way
In search for earthly wealth and worldly fame

CHORUS
