I was a poor boy, a child of misfortune,
I was a poor boy with nowhere left to roam,
I was running wild until you came to me,
Oh, sweet destiny.

I was a wanderer with no direction,
I was a wanderer with no place to call home,
I was running blind until you made me see,
Whoa, sweet destiny.

Sweet destiny, sweet destiny,
Oh, Lord Jesus, you've rescued me,
Whoa, sweet destiny.

I am a free man; no chains and no shackles,
I am a free man with dreams to call my own,
I was fading fast when you set me free,
Oh, sweet destiny.

Sweet destiny, sweet destiny, (oh, it's so sweet, yeah)
Sweet destiny, sweet destiny, (oh, it's so sweet)
Ooh, Lord Jesus, you've rescued me,
Sweet destiny, sweet destiny,
Sweet destiny, sweet destiny. (ooh, it's so sweet)

I am a rich man, my wandering is over,
I am a rich man with no more need to roam,
I've been given more than I ever dreamed,
I was running blind until you made me see,
I was running wild 'til you came to me,
Whoa, sweet destiny.

Sweet destiny, sweet destiny,
Sweet destiny, sweet destiny...
Oh, my sweet...my sweet, sweet destiny, I'll never know, just what you mean to me,
Oh, my sweet...my sweet, sweet destiny,
Oh, destiny,
Sweet destiny, sweet destiny...
