Love Took It Away
Once I bore a burden great, Was weary and sad; But no more I bear its weight, I'm pardoned and glad; Love divine at last I know, No longer I stray; On wothout a stain I go- Love took it away.
Love took it away, One wonderful day, Made me free and lifted me, In the light to stay; Love took it away, One wonderful day, Gone at last my sinful past- Love took it away.
Once a craving great had I For pleasures that stain; Now I pass those pleasures by, They tempt me in vain; I am under His control, Rejoicing each day; Gone the burden from my soul- Love took it away.
Love took it away, One wonderful day, Made me free and lifted me, In the light to stay; Love took it away, One wonderful day, Gone at last my sinful past- Love took it away.
Once my record was unclean, My spirit was worn; Now my name on high is seen As fair as the morn; O what happiness is mine, With Jesus I stay; Sin no more makes me repine- Love took it away.
Love took it away, One wonderful day, Made me free and lifted me, In the light to stay; Love took it away, One wonderful day, Gone at last my sinful past- Love took it away.
