1 In my heart the Saviour now is dwelling,
From my sins He set me free;
He is mine and I am His forever,
For the blood avails for me.

Refrain:
In my heart He reigns today,
Hallelujah, what a Saviour,
For He came one day, and He came to stay,
In my heart to live forever.

2 In my heart a wondrous change took place,
When Jesus sweetly said to me:
“I have called you to be My disciple,
Take your cross and follow me.” [Refrain]

3 In my heart there is a settled peace,
The world can never take away;
Jesus satisfies my ev’ry longing,
With His presence fills each day. [Refrain]
