| Yet they look at me and can't see any flaws | B |
| I have left the wrong path and my awful ways | A |
| To walk with the Lord in the light of His laws | B |
| - | |
| They wonder at the persona I am now | C |
| And can't believe the offender I was then | D |
| Can the vilest offender they used to know | E |
| Now turn the blameless among the sons of men | D |
| - | |
| But the saint I am now I am by God's grace | F |
| I was the prodigal son of yesterday | G |
| Only by His grace have I come to this place | F |
| I'm the same black sheep I was that went astray | G |

| The Shepherd searched for me though I went away | G |

| He made me the perfect saint I am today | G |
| And restored me a member of his sheepfold | G |

| So they stare at me and wonder if it's true | I |
| That I truly was the bane of yesterday | G |
| And some even ask Can this really be you | I |
| So much in doubt that they know not what to say | G |
| - | |
| But I'm only the product of God's good grace | F |
| The saint I am now could not have been alone | J |
| He picked me from the dust and transformed my ways | A |
| And saving me from sin He called me His own | J |
| - | |
| Now how else shall I say of the saint I am now | C |
| How else shall they hear of the saint I am today | G |
| For e'en words fail me so much that they know not how | C |
| The saint I am now was the bane of yesterday | G |
