I remember the timeWhen in darkness I wanderedOn the mountain of sinI had traveled so longLike the prodigal sonAll my goods I had squanderedSadly I'm wrongBut the Savior came inAnd He gave me a songI can tell you now the timeI can take you to the placeWhere the Lord saved meBy His wonderful graceBut I cannot tell you howAnd I cannot tell you whyAnd I know not howBut He'll tell me all about itHe will tell me all about itIn the by and byIn the by and byJust a sinner was IJust a sinner was IFar away from my SaviorGoing aloneWith no hope of rewardWith no hope of rewardAt the end of the wayAt the end of the wayBut the Savior came downBut the Savior came downAnd He gave me His favorAll for my ownNow I'm singing His praiseNow I'm singing His praiseFor He saved me that dayTruly saved me that dayI can tell you now the timeI can tell you the timeI can take you to the placeI can show you the placeWhere the Lord saved meWhere the Lord saved meBy His wonderful graceBy His wonderful graceBut I cannot tell you howBut I cannot tell you howAnd I cannot tell you whyAnd I cannot tell you whyBut He'll tell me all about itHe will tell me all about itIn the by and byIn the by and byI can never forgetI can never forgetWhen He spoke to me gentlyAll about meIn the fountainsIn the fountainsIn the fountainsI can tell you now the timeI can tell you the timeI can take you to the placeI can show you the placeWhere the Lord saved meWhere the Lord saved meWhere the Lord saved me by His wonderful grace, by His wonderful grace.But I cannot tell you how, and I cannot tell you why,but He'll tell me all about it in the by and by.
