All my life was wrecked by sin and strife;
Discord filled my heart with pain;
Jesus swept across the broken strings,
Stirred the slumbering chords again.
Feasting on the riches of His grace,
Resting 'neath His sheltering wing,
Always looking on His smiling face
That is why I shout and sing.
Tho sometimes He leads thru waters deep,
Trials fall across the way,
Tho sometimes the path seems rough and steep,
See His foot prints all the way.
Soon He`s coming back to welcome me,
Far beyond the starry sky;
I shall wing my flight to worlds unknow,
I shall reign with Him on high.
Chorus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest name I know,
Fills my every longing, Keeps me singing as I go.
Written by Luther B. Bridgers
