THEN JESUS CAME

One sat alone beside 
the highway begging,
His eyes were blind,
the light he could not see;
He clutched his rags
and shivered in the shadows,
Then Jesus came
and bade his darkness flee.

CHORUS
When Jesus comes the
tempter’s pow’r is broken;
When Jesus comes the
tears are wiped away.
He takes the gloom and
fills the life with glory,
For all is changed when
Jesus comes to stay.

From home and friends
the evil spirits drove him,
Among the tombs he dwelt in misery,
He cut himself as demon pow’rs
possessed him, Then Jesus came
and set the captive free.

Unclean! unclean! the leper cried in
torment,
The deaf, the dumb, in helplessness
stood near;
The fever raged, disease had
gripped its victim
Then Jesus came and cast out
every fear.

So men today have found
the Saviour able,
They could not
conquer passion, lust and sin;
Their broken hearts had left them
sad and lonely,
Then Jesus came and dwelt
Himself within.
