Jesus got ahold of my life and He won't let me go!
Jesus got into my heart; He got into my soul!
I used to be oh so sad,
But now I'm just a free and glad,
'Cause Jesus got ahold of my life and He won't let go!

Sometimes I remember how I used to be livin' in sin;
I tried to act happy and free but I wasn't within;
I fooled a lot of friends of mine,
They tho't I had some peace of mind,
But I never had a thing until I opened up and let Jesus in!

Jesus got ahold of my life and He won't let me go!
Jesus got into my heart; He got into my soul!
I used to be oh so sad,
But now I'm just a free and glad,
'Cause Jesus got ahold of my life and He won't let go!

Aren't you getting' just a bit tired of foolin' around?
You try to laugh your way thro' life but you're not gainin' ground;
Why not try the Lord today,
Just ask Him in your heart to stay,
And you'll find Jesus' love to be the greatest thing that you've ever found!

Jesus got ahold of my life and He won't let me go!
Jesus got into my heart; He got into my soul!
I used to be oh so sad,
But now I'm just a free and glad,
'Cause Jesus got ahold of my life and He won't let go!
