Verse 1
There's within my heart a melody — Jesus whispers, sweet and low,
"Fear not, I am with thee; peace, be still," in all of life's ebb and flow.
Chorus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus — sweetest name I know,
fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.
Verse 2
All my life was wrecked by sin and strife,
Discord filled my heart with pain,
Jesus swept across the broken strings,
Stirred the slumb'ring chords again.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,-
Sweetest name I know,
Fills my ev'ry longing,
Keeps me singing as I go.
Verse 3
Feasting on the riches of His grace,
Resting 'neath His shelt'ring wing,
Always looking on His smiling face,
That is why I shout and sing.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,-
Sweetest name I know,
Fills my ev'ry longing,
Keeps me singing as I go.
Verse 4
Though sometimes He leads through waters deep,
Trials fall across the way,
Though sometimes the path seems rough and steep,
See His footprints all the way.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,-
Sweetest name I know,
Fills my ev'ry longing,
Keeps me singing as I go.
Verse 5
Soon He's coming back to welcome me,
Far beyond the starry sky;
I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown,
I shall reign with Him on high.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,-
Sweetest name I know,
Fills my ev'ry longing,
Keeps me singing as I go.
