I'm in Love With Jesus
Hank Snow · The Singing Ranger: 1949-1953 [Bear Family] [1989]
One day the blessed Saviour brought sweet romance to my heart
And gently whispered love to me
He said we'll dwell together and would never ever part
So now, this is the reason that I sing the song of love.
Oh, I'm in love with Jesus, he's the lover of my soul
Fairest one, the rose of Sharon, bright and the morning star
Sweetest love from heaven up above, my life, my joy, my all
Oh, this love divine fills this heart of mine, I'm in love with Jesus.
(I'm in love with Jesus, he's the lover of my soul)
Fairest one, the rose of Sharon, bright and the morning star
Sweetest love from heaven up above, my life, my joy, my all
Oh, this love divine fills this heart of mine, I'm in love with Jesus...
