In the quiet

Of my soul

In the stillness

I hear Your voice call

And I am overwhelmed

And I am lost for words

To describe You


Jesus You're more than a friend

Jesus You're more than my heart

Could ever express

Your love and Your grace never fail me

Your merciful touch always heals me

You bring joy to my soul

Joy to my soul


My heart longs to worship

You my King

And I long to bring You

A pleasing offering

And I am overwhelmed

And I am lost for words

To describe You


Jesus You're more than a friend

Jesus You're more than my heart

Could ever express

Your love and Your grace never fail me

Your merciful touch always heals me

You bring joy, You bring joy to my soul

Jesus You're more than my heart

Could ever express

Your love and Your grace never fail me

Your merciful touch always heals me

You bring joy to my soul


Oh, Jesus

Jesus

Your love and Your grace

Your merciful touch

Brings joy to my soul, brings joy to my soul


Joy to my soul

Oh, Jesus

You bring joy to my soul


Jesus You're more than a friend

Jesus You're more than my heart

Could ever express

Your love and Your grace never fail me

Your merciful touch always heals me

You bring joy to my soul

Joy to my soul
