Body and Soul Songtext
von Susan Ashton

Once I was lost hurtin′ inside
Dangling over the edge
But the history of pain
Barely remains

Once I was blind but could it be
That the excess of light
Is shading the weary past
With the shadow it cast

And as sin gives way
To atoning blood
And a debt is paid
With the riches of love

There's a hope that I see, there′s a freedom in me
There's a comfort in death and in life
Knowing that I belong
To the Savior who's making me whole, body and soul


Now, I can feel, a sense of resolve
Choosing a new point of view
Going against the grain
Breaking the chain

And the shackles fall
On the road to peace
And I lose them all
As I find my release

As there′s a hope that I see, there′s a freedom in me
There's a comfort in death and in life
Knowing that I belong
To the Savior who′s making me whole, body and soul

And that hope eternal springs in me
And that freedom seems to willingly carry me
Through a world of fears, I've stored inside of me
Lord, abide in me, oh

And as sin gives way
To atoning blood
And a debt is paid
With the riches of love


There′s a hope that I see, there's a freedom in me
There′s a comfort in death and in life
Knowing that I belong
To the Savior who's making me whole, body and soul
Body and soul
