What a happy day
When I no more could turn away,
When Jesus took my heart from the black of night
Into the kingdom of His light.
When I no more could turn away,
When Jesus took my heart from the black of night
Into the kingdom of His light.

Now my life’s begun,
The “really life” that’s in the Son.
No more am I enthralled by earth’s empty dreams;
Deep in me flows a living stream.
The “really life” that’s in the Son.
No more am I enthralled by earth’s empty dreams;
Deep in me flows a living stream.

As I turn to Him
He fills me with His life within.
His life becomes my life in reality;
Oh, hallelujah, He’s in me!
He fills me with His life within.
His life becomes my life in reality;
Oh, hallelujah, He’s in me!

I just love You, Lord,
With other loves, You break the cord.
You’ll be my life for all eternity;
You are the only One for me.
With other loves, You break the cord.
You’ll be my life for all eternity;
You are the only One for me.

This is a joyful simple song.
I have a problem with the 2nd line of the 4th stanza:
"with other loves You break the cord."
The Lord is to be our first love. Other loves should be subservient to His.
We don't want to pray for the Lord to break the cord of our love for our wife, children or friends. That would be a terrible prayer to be answered.
I would change stanza 4 line 2 to:
With worldly loves You break the cord.
