I have changed, I tried something for better than gold,

I’ve been cleansed from my sin with its dross;

I have changed and the shackles of sin cannot hold,

I’ve been changed by the old rugged cross.

Once I lived for the things of this world here below,

For its dreams for its schemes to be free;

I would try for the gains of its glitter and glow,

Then I woke to reality.

Soon my wealth and my friends were all gone;

There were fears every night till the shadows withdrew,

Then I asked my Lord to lead on.
