68. Jesus Came to Me

1 In my darkness and distress,
Jesus came to me.
With His love my soul to bless,
Jesus came to me.
Full salvation I received,
Jesus came to me;
Just the moment I believed,
Jesus came to me.

Refrain:
Jesus came to me,
Jesus came to me,
And my soul is satisfied,
Since Jesus came to me,
Jesus came to me,
Came and set me free;
And my soul is satisfied,
Since Jesus came to me.

2 In temptation’s trying hour,
Jesus came to me.
With His wondrous grace and pow’r,
Jesus came to me.
Giving vict’ry over sin,
Jesus came to me;
Purifying all within,
Jesus came to me. [Refrain]

3 All my soul is filled with peace,
Jesus came to me.
I, from sin, have sweet release,
Jesus came to me.
He is now my staff and stay,
Jesus came to me;
And I walk the King’s highway,
Since He came to me. [Refrain]
