Her useless legs were made to jump for joy.

Don't ask me if He's good or bad; I only know the guilt I had is gone, 
            G            C 
And I can't tell you any more.

Don't ask me how to prove to you why I know God is there,

And don't ask me why Someone so great would chose to walk with me

And trade my broken life for one that's new.

Before this man called Jesus touched their lives. 
   C                                        Am 
Go ask the one whose fears have fled, whose churning heart was quieted

When Someone whispered peace to all her strife. 
   C                                  Am

Inside himself self until the Savior came. 
  F                              C            A7 
I don't pretend to be so wise; I only know He touched my eyes,

And nothing else will ever be the same.

And nothing else will ever be the same.
