Verse 1: This is my wonderful story, Christ to my heart has come; Jesus, the King of Glory, Finds in my heart a home. Verse 2: Was there e'er story so moving, Story of love and pain; Was there e'er Bridegroom so loving, Seeking our hearts to gain. Verse 3: I am so glad I received Him, Jesus my heart's dear King; I who so often have grieved Him, All to His feet would bring. Verse 4: How can I ever be lonely, How can I ever fall; What can I want, if only Christ is my all in all? Verse 5: Now in His bosom confiding, This my glad song shall be; I am in Christ abiding, And Christ abides in me.
