She was staring at a picture
Of a man I did not know
Though she was smiling sweetly
Her tears did freely flow
I asked her who this man was
That caused her to cry
Sir He is my master
And these are tears of joy
Yes sir He's my master
No sir I'm not a slave
He freed me from my bondage
Saved me from the grave
Yes sir He's the master
Of all who so choose
Come kneel down before Him
His love He won't refuse"
There was something about her voice
Filled with sincerity
That pierced deep down within my heart
And brought me to my knees
I said can I know this man
As my master too
You know He died for sinners
Especially for you"
So I took Him as my master
And I gave Him all my sin
Now I know just what it means
To have sweet peace within
And if someone should ask me
Why I laugh and cry
I'll say because my master
Has filled my heart with joy
