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.2. 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.3. 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.4. 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.5. 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.
