  • This wonderful song was written in the summer of 1961 inspired by an event that took place at the Montrose Bible Conference Grounds in Montrose, Pennsylvania. In one of the testimonies, the song writer John W. Peterson said that “During one of the sessions an opportunity for a time of personal testimonies was given the audience, and an old man called Jim rose to his feet and told of his conversion experience. In describing that night when he met Christ, he used the phrase ‘It seemed like Heaven came down and glory filled my soul.’
    “Right away John W. Peterson sensed that it would be a fine title for a song, so, John wrote it down and later in the week completed the song. It became a favorite almost immediately.”
    The song born that day in 1961 has blessed the hearts of people worldwide. John W. Peterson wrote more than one thousand songs and fifteen cantatas that have sold more than three million copies. But this song is one of the most beloved among Christians. I remember singing this song during the scripture union meetings in the mid 1980s.
