O How I Love Jesus
Alan Jackson · Other Songs - Alan Jackson
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in mine ear,
The sweetest name on earth.
CHORUS
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me!
It tells me of a Savior's love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner's perfect plea.
Chorus
It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe,
Who in each sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below.
Chorus Twice
