1 Is the Lord in your heart? did you open the door,
While He waited, admittance to gain?
Did you answer His knock with a joyous response,
Bid Him ever your guest to remain.

Chorus:
Is the Lord in your heart? have you chosen the part
That shall never be taken away?
Have you yielded your soul to the spirit’s control?
Has the Comforter come in to stay?

2 Is the Lord in your heart? do you know the delight
All the peace which His presence affords?
The unbroken repose, and the perfect content,
And the joy that is deeper than words? [Chorus]

3 Is the Lord in your heart so that others may see
Working that which is pleasing to Him,
Whisp’ring comfort and cheer in life’s sorrowful hours,
Giving light when the way becomes dim? [Chorus]

4 Is the Lord in your heart? then rejoice and be glad;
Though your lot in this world may be poor,
Soon with Him you will share in His glory untold,
While the ages eternal endure. [Chorus]

Thomas O. Chisholm was born in Franklin, Kentucky in 1866. His boyhood was spent on a farm and in teaching district schools. He spent five years as editor of the local paper at Franklin. He was converted to Christianity at the age of 26 and soon after was business manager and office editor of the "Pentecostal Herald" of Louisville, Ky. In 1903 he entered the ministry of the M. E. Church South. His aim in writing was to incorporate as much as Scripture as possible and to avoid flippant or sentimental themes.
