Since Jesus Came to Dwell with Me

My life was once so ve­ry drear

Because ’twas filled with guilt and fear;

But now I have full li­ber­ty

Since Je­sus came to dwell with me.

Since Je­sus came to dwell with me

Since Je­sus came to dwell with me

I’m not my own

I’m His alone;

Since Je­sus came to dwell with me.

From sins that once did hold full sway

I now have ful­ly turned away

For I have gained the vic­to­ry

Since Je­sus came to dwell with me.

To tell to those in sin and shame

Of Christ my Sav­ior’s cleans­ing fame

Shall my great aim and du­ty be

Since Je­sus came to dwell with me.

And when my task on earth is done

And I in Heav’n a place have won

I’ll sing with those of Cal­va­ry

Since Je­sus came to dwell with me.
