Since He Came to Stay

If you’ll list­en un­to me

A stor­y to you I’ll tell

How Je­sus Christ the Son of God

Came in my heart to dwell;

And by His migh­ty pow­er

He’s changed my night to day

And now I’ve a life that’s filled with joy

Since Je­sus came to stay.

I bless the hap­py day

When Je­sus came to stay

And tho’ my sins were crim­son red

He’s tak­en them all away;

And by His migh­ty pow­er

He’s changed my night to day

And now I’ve a life that’s filled with joy

Since Je­sus came to stay.

Before He came to stay

I had my doubts and fears

I longed to know the peace and joy

I felt in oth­er years;

Now Sa­tan is cast out

And ev­ery pass­ing day

God gives me strength my foes to meet

Since Je­sus came to stay.

Yes

since my Sav­ior came

Within my heart to dwell

He helps me learn the liv­ing way

And do His bless­èd will;

And when at last He sees

My work on earth is done

I’ll then go shout­ing home to God

To re­ceive the crown I’ve won.
