Before I knew Jesus  
All I knew was all my shame 
Unloved was my life story  
Unworthy was my name  
Had no future  
Just a long and broken past  
But I’m standing here today to say  
Jesus changed all that  
 
Now I know freedom 
Now I know hope  
Now I know love that will never let go  
Forever forgiven  
Forever I’m changed  
And there’s no going back to the day  
 
Before I knew Jesus  
There was no such thing as a bigger plan  
No redemption for my failures 
No such thing as a second chance  
Before I knew Jesus  
The good was never good enough  
But he set me free to see  
That I don’t have to measure up  
 
Now I know freedom 
Now I know hope  
Now I know love that will never let go  
Forever forgiven  
Forever I’m changed  
And there’s no going back to the day 
Before I knew Jesus  
 
And now my Savior  
He knows me 
He knows me  
And now my Savior  
He calls me His own  
And now my Savior  
He holds me  
He holds me  
And in my Savior  
My heart has a home  
 
Before I knew Jesus  
And I look Him in the eye  
I want everyone to see  
He’s the one who changed my life  
 
Now I know freedom 
Now I know hope  
Now I know love that will never let go  
Forever forgiven  
Forever I’m changed  
And there’s no going back to the day 
 
And there’s no going back to the day  
Before I knew Jesus  
'Cause I know Jesus
