When we accept Jesus Christ into our heart, into our life, He changes us forever. Daily we grow inspite of our sin. The Spirit of God dwelling within us, leads us in peace and understanding. He fills us up and gives us Joy. Thank You Jesus for this gift. May these words bless you today and this week!
This hymn was written by Rufus H. McDaniel in 1914.
“Rufus H. McDaniel was ordained in the Christian church in 1873. He found much joy in church music. He began writing hymns in the 1880’s. He wrote, “I feel in my soul that God has something for me to do in brightening the experience of struggling souls. My chief desire is to be a blessing, if possible, to my fellow-men through these hymns and thereby glorify God in the name of his dear son ‘whose I am and whom I serve.”
Since Jesus Came into My Heart:
1 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 had 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.
2 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]
3 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]
4 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]
