Floods of Joy Fill My Soul...

...Like the sea billows roll, since Jesus came into my heart!

Today I had the great privelege to pray with my daughter J to ask Jesus into her heart! On Sunday we overheard our son D sharing the Gospel with the girls and praying with A to ask Jesus into her heart. J did not want to do it then. Today we were reading a story about Jesus during the devotional time of school and she started talking about loving Jesus and A started talking about having Jesus in her heart and one thing led to another and J asked to pray and have Jesus in her heart too! Precious seeds have been planted. And my heart was filled to bursting with Joy, and that old hymn came to my lips. The girls tried to sing along with the chorus.

Since Jesus Came Into My Heart

What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought
Since Jesus came into my heart!
I have light in my soul for which long I had sought,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Floods of joy o’er my soul
Like the sea billows roll,
Since Jesus came into my heart.

I have ceased from my wandering and going astray,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And my sins, which were many, are all washed away,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain

I’m possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain

There’s a light in the valley of death now for me,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And the gates of the City beyond I can see,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain

I shall go there to dwell in that City, I know,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And I’m happy, so happy, as onward I go,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Refrain

How precious. Their names are all in the Lamb's book of life and you as their mama get to rejoice and watch them grow in their relationship with the Lord. What more can a mom want?

Now we know why you have been going through a spritual battle the last few weeks. I am so very, very happy for your children and especially for you and your husband.
