Then Jesus Came Lyrics & Chords

By Oswald J. Smith

Verse 1

(G)One sat alone beside the highway (Am)begging 

His eyes were (D)blind, the Light he could not (G)see 

He clutched his (Eb)rags and shivered in the (F)shadows 

Then Jesus (D)came and bid the darkness (G)flee

 

Chorus

When Jesus (D)comes the tempter's power is (G) broken 

When Jesus (D)comes, all tears are wiped a(G)way 

He takes the (G)gloom and fills my heart with (C)glory 

When Jesus (G)comes, the (D)darkness flees a(G)way 

 

Verse 2

"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.

 

Verse 3

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.

 

Verse 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.
