THEN JESUS CAME
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 ev’ry
fear.
4. 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.
