Oh, how I love Jesus
Oh, how I love Jesus
Oh, how I love Jesus
Because He first loved me
There is a Name I love to hear
I love to sing its worth
It sounds like music in my ear
The sweetest Name on earth
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
Oh, how I love Jesus
Oh, how I love Jesus
Oh, how I love Jesus
Because He first loved me
Oh, how I love Jesus
Oh, how I love Jesus
Oh, how I love Jesus
Because He first loved me
Oh, how I love Jesus
Oh, how I love Jesus
Oh, how I love Jesus
Because He first loved me
Because He first loved me
Because He first loved me
