Old Hymn Lyrics Search - God Did A Wonderful Thing For Me

[woodwig]

Hello Everyone,

I'm searching for a song that I remember hearing in the mid-late 60's/early 70's. I've performed numerous searches, checked with family members, church members, etc. to see if anyone might have the words and/or music. The name of the song is "God Did A Wonderful Thing For Me". If anyone has the lyrics, music, or both, it would mean the world to me if I could attain them.

Thanks,
James

I was a sinner, all covered in shame,
Lost and defiled, with no merit to claim.
But somehow, God still loved me, in spite of my sins.
Saved me, redeemed me and cleansed me within.

Chorus
God did a wonderful thing for me,
one glorious, happy day
God did a wonderful thing for me
when He took all my sin away

If it is, I'll post the other verse

Yes ma'am - that is the one! PTL, I wasn't sure if I would ever find the words! God bless you, sister!!

Thank you for the blessing,

Here are two other verses:

Could I forget it, that wonderful time
When I was saved ’twas a moment sublime
All through life’s journey, I’ll sing of His love
Someday I’ll tell it to angels above

Numberless blessings He since has bestowed
Mercies from Heaven like rivers have flowed
So many wonderful things He has done
And praise His name, He has only begun

What are the most effective strategies for tracking down and identifying obscure or lesser-known religious songs from the 1960s and 1970s, particularly when traditional search methods and personal inquiries have been unsuccessful?

[songinmyheart]

Hi millera22,

I use every bit of information offered and dredged up,
every fragment of lyrics - singled out phrase by phrase
and track down every lead.
There are new Apps that you can use to hum the tune
or sing a phrase that can identify a song.
I haven't used any so can't vouch for them.

What song at present are you looking for?
