" Whose heart the Lord opened " (Acts 16. 14).
You ask me how I came to Christ?I do not know.
There came a yearning for Him in my heart So long ago.
I found earth's flowers would fade and die,-
I wept for something that would satisfy;
And then-and then somehow I seemed to dare
To lift,my heart to Him in prayer.
I do not know-I cannot tell you-how,
I only know He is my Savior now.
You ask me when I came to Christ? I cannot tell.
The day, or just the hour I do not now Remember well.
It must have been when I was all alone,
The light of His forgiving Spirit shone
Into my heart, so clouded o'er with sin,
I think-I think 'twas then I let Him in.
I do not know-I cannot tell you-when
I only know He is so dear since then!
