'Since Jesus Came into My Heart' lyrics
What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought Since Jesus came into my heart! I have light in my soul for which long I have sought, Since Jesus came into my heart!
Refrain: Since Jesus came into my heart, Since Jesus came into my heart, Floods of joy o'er my soul like the sea billows roll, Since Jesus came into my heart.
I have ceased from my wand'ring and going astray, Since Jesus came into my heart! And my sins which were many are all washed away, Since Jesus came into my heart! [Refrain]
I’m possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure, Since Jesus came into my heart! And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure, Since Jesus came into my heart! [Refrain]
There's a light in the valley of death now for me, Since Jesus came into my heart! And the gates of the City beyond I can see, Since Jesus came into my heart! [Refrain]
I shall go there to dwell in that city, I know, Since Jesus came into my heart! And I'm happy, so happy, as onward I go, Since Jesus came into my heart! [Refrain]
