All the stories ever told
All the songs the world could hold
Not a single one comes close
To tell You what's inside my soul
How sweet it is, how sweet it is,
How sweet it is to be loved by Jesus
How sweet it is, how sweet it is,
How sweet it is to be loved by You
The measure of Your love so deep
Could fill the tide of every sea
Nothing else in history
Compares to what You've done for me
How sweet it is, how sweet it is,
How sweet it is to be loved by Jesus
How sweet it is, how sweet it is,
How sweet it is to be loved by You...
The sun will burn its final flame
And every tear be wiped away
When I see You face to face
Forevermore my heart will say
How sweet it is, how sweet it is,
How sweet it is to be loved by Jesus
How sweet it is, how sweet it is,
How sweet it is to be loved by You
How sweet it is, how sweet it is,
How sweet it is to be loved by Jesus
How sweet it is, how sweet it is,
How sweet it is to be loved by You
