Words: , 1914. Mc­Dan­i­el wrote these words af­ter the death of his son.

It was the in­stru­ment used by the Ho­ly Spir­it in the con­ver­sion of Po­lice­man Fowl­er dur­ing the Bil­ly Sun­day, Phil­a­del­phia, meet­ing. What the apos­tol­ic preach­ing of the great evan­gel­ist failed to do, this song of per­son­al tes­ti­mo­ny did—brought about Fowl­er’s con­ver­sion. More than a hun­dred po­lice­men were led to Christ by the change wrought in the life of one man by this song.

Music: , 1914.


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.

I have ceased from my wandering 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
