Jesus My Savior

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In this believer's ear
It soothes my sorrows, heals my wounds
And drives away my fear
It makes my wounded spirit whole
And calms my troubled mind
It's manna to my hungry soul
And in it, peace I find

Your name proclaimed from cursing lips
While suffering in my place
The Holy One was torn and ripped
And tears had drenched Your face
By You my friends acceptance gain
Although with sin defined
Satan accuses me in vain
For I am now Your child

Jesus, my Savior
My Shepherd and King
My joy of salvation
Forever I'll sing
Jesus, my Savior
My Shepherd and King
My joy of salvation
Forever I'll sing

How weak the effort of my heart
And cold my warmest thought
But when I see You on that cross
I praise You as I ought
Till heaven I will Your love proclaim
With every fleeting breath
And may the music of Your name
Refresh my soul in death

Jesus, my Savior
My Shepherd and King
My joy of salvation
Forever I'll sing
Jesus, my Savior
My Shepherd and King
My joy of salvation
Forever I'll sing
