Lyrics

Verse 1
I chased the world and all its lies,
Spent my money on whiskey and dice.
Ran with the crowd till the break of day,
But every morning the same old shame.
I built my castles in the sand,
Watched ‘em crumble in my hand.
Thought I was livin’, but I was dead,
Chasin’ rainbows with a heavy head.
Chorus
Wasted days, wasted years, and a wasted life!
But Jesus came and cut through the strife!
He took my mess, turned it around,
Now I’m standin’ on holy ground!
No more cryin’ over what used to be,
‘Cause His blood set this sinner free!
Glory, glory, what a change in me—
Goodbye wasted days, now I’m livin’ free!
Verse 2
Mama prayed and Daddy cried,
But I turned my back on the other side.
Thought I had time, thought I was smart,
Till the weight of sin broke my heart.
Then I hit my knees in that old jail cell,
Cried, “Lord have mercy, save me from hell!”
He reached down with nail-scarred hands,
Lifted me up and helped me stand.
Chorus
Wasted days, wasted years, and a wasted life!
But Jesus came and cut through the strife!
He took my mess, turned it around,
Now I’m standin’ on holy ground!
No more cryin’ over what used to be,
‘Cause His blood set this sinner free!
Glory, glory, what a change in me—
Goodbye wasted days, now I’m livin’ free!
Bridge
Every tear I cried, every night I prayed,
Every wrong I did, every price I paid…
Jesus wiped it all away!
Final Chorus
No more wasted days, no more wasted years,
No more wasted life, no more tears!
I’m walkin’ with Jesus, singin’ His praise,
Livin’ for Heaven all of my days!
Oh hallelujah, what a Savior I’ve found—
He turned my life completely around!
Glory, glory, shout it loud and clear—
My wasted life is gone, and Jesus is here!
Tag
Wasted days are over…
Wasted years are over…
This old wasted life is over…
Thank You, Jesus, I’m finally livin’!
