Today’s hymn focus will be

Since Jesus Came into My Heart

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NASB95)    

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.”

Rufus H McDaniel began writing hymns in the 1880’s, stating that he felt like God had something for him to do to help brighten the experience of struggling souls. He wanted his hymns to bring blessing and glory to God in the name of his dear Son, whose he was and whom He served. He wrote this song in 1914 after the tragic loss of his son. He sent the song to Charles H Gabriel, who composed the melody that we know today.

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

We need to wake up and remember that no matter what we have faced, or are facing, or will be facing in the near future, we need to sing God’s praises! He brought about change in our lives; He has given us direction; and He will be coming back to take us all home to live with Him for eternity. That should bring you joy!
