This song was written by A B Simpson. A dear brother in the Lord decades ago.
Once it was the blessing/
Now it is the Lord/
Once it was the feeling/
Now it is His word
Once His gift I wanted
Now the Giver own
Once I sought for healing
Now Himself alone
Chorus
All in all forever
Only Christ I'll sing
Everything is in Christ
And Christ is EVERYTHING!
Once 'twas painful trying
Now 'tis perfect trust
Once a half salvation
Now the uttermost
Once 'twas ceaseless holding
Now He holds me fast
Once 'twas constant drifting
Now my anchor's cast
Once 'twas busy planning
Now 'tis trustful prayer
Once 'twas anxious caring
Now He has the care
Once 'twas what I wanted
Now what Jesus says
Once twas constant asking
Now ' tis ceaseless praise!!
Once it was my working
His it hence shall be
Once i tried to use Him
Now He uses me
Once the power I wanted
Now.. THE MIGHTY ONE!
Once for self I labored
Now for Him alone

Once I hoped in Jesus
Now I KNOW He's mine
Once my lamps were dying
NOw they brightly shine
Once for death I waited
Now His coming Hail
And My hopes are anchored
Safe within the veil

beautiful... but what a pity many person are doing(not your friend) earning money with musics to praise the Lord, using rock, hard rock and so saying that is to praise the Lord but it is not is to praise satan. to praise the Lord the music cant be made to earn money and cant be mixed with world will and fashion!
