Telugu Lyrics
Alas and did saviour bleed and did my sov'reign die
Would he devote that sacred head for such a worm as I
At the cross at the cross where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day
Was it for crimes that I have done he groaned upon the tree
Amazing pity grace unknown and love beyond degree
At the cross at the cross where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day
But drops of grief cannot repay the debt of love I owe
Here lord I give myself away it's all that I can do
At the cross at the cross where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day
At the cross at the cross where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day
