G 
I had everything
C 
this world had to offer
D

And I held all the pleasures by the tail
C 
I thought that I would never have a need
D 
G 
In my heart I believed I'd never fail
C 
I was drinking my way down to eternity
G 
Down in the deepest darkness
D 
I was lost
G 
But my Lord set me free,
C 
completely gave me victory
G 
C 
G 
I  traded the bottom
D 
G 
and the world for the cross
C 
I was livin' a life I'm believin'
D 
G 
Every day closer to the end
C 
A sinner filled with pride and unsaved
D 
G 
I was tied to the world full of sin
C 
I was drinkin' my way down to eternity
G 
Down in the deepest darkness
D 
Yes, I was lost,
G 
but my Lord set me free

Completely gave me victory

G 
Down in the deepest darkness
I was lost
D
