Words & Music: , 1940. Love­less wrote this song while the dark clouds of World War II were ga­ther­ing, but its mes­sage of Christ’s abid­ing pre­sence, ev­en dur­ing con­flict, still res­o­nates to­day.



What though wars may come,
With marching feet and beat of the drum,
For I have Christ in my heart;
What though nations rage,
As we approach the end of the age,
For I have Christ in my heart.
God is still on the throne, Almighty God is He;
And He cares for His own through all eternity.
So let come what may, whatever it is, I only say
That I have Christ in my heart,
I have Christ in my heart.
