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.
