Gone...is the useless life I once led.
Gone...is the emptiness I felt.
Gone...are the restless nights that I spent
Searching for answers in despair.

Chorus:
And now joy and gladness have taken their place.

Peace and happiness have come instead.
In Your love I am free at last
And here in my heart, Lord, I've found rest.
Here in my heart I've found rest.

Gone...are the questions I had no answers for.
Gone...are the worries of the past.

Gone...is the loneliness and despair.
Bad dreams and misery have fled.

Chorus:
And now joy and gladness have taken their place.
Peace and happiness have come instead.
In Your love I am free at last,
And here in my heart, Lord, I've found rest.

[Repeat first chorus]
