Once, my savior came and died
To save my soul from sin.
Once, I looked to Him to save me,
'Twill happen ne'er again!

Once He died upon the cross;
Oh!   How He suffered there!
Once He cried "I thirst" in agony,
To show me how He cared.

Once He saved my sinful soul,
He became forever mine,
When I surrendered all to Him,
And said, "Take me, Lord, I'm thine!"

Once for all eternity
He gave eternal life;
Yet I've failed Him, oh, so many times
Through daily care and strife.

Still I know He's mine forever;
He forgives me o'er and o'er.
I'm saved once and forever,
And I know I'll reach that shore!
