The Ninety-Nine Lyrics

Anywhere I venture
I still remember
The place I used to be
In such a weather
That none could ever
Calm the raging sea
The gravest danger
My fallen nature
Would ever lead me near
Who could tell if whether
My soul would enter
A demise I now only used to fear

O Lord, when all had forsaken me
You did not leave me behind
Only Thy mercy could have taken me
Back to the ninety-nine

His grace was given
A life rewritten
Unworthy as I was
My sins forgiven
Through blood within Him
Shed upon the Cross
A Pauline conversion
Crushed the person
I was into debris
My eyes have opened
So they may see
The abounding love
Only He could lay on me
