7313. When Jesus Came My Way

1. The beggar sat blind by the wayside road,
Till Jesus came along, came along that way.
And then he rejoiced in the power of God,
When Jesus came along that way.

Refrain
My life was all darkened by guilt and sin,
Till Jesus came along, came along my way.
But now ’tis all brightness and peace within,
Since Jesus came along my way.

2. One word from the Master, his eyes gave sight,
When Jesus came along, came along that way.
And faith in His word filled his heart with light,
When Jesus came along that way. [Refrain]

3. I heard the sweet sound of the angel throng,
When Jesus came along, came along my way.
As they joined in the glad redemption song,
When Jesus came along that way. [Refrain]

4. Oh! come to the Savior; be healed of sin,
Today He comes along, comes along your way.
The sinner cries out, and the light breaks in,
When Jesus comes along that way. [Refrain]
