Then Jesus Came

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 bid his darkness flee
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
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.
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
