When I close my eyes
There's a peace that soothes my mind
A gentle place unknown
Where You and I meet, we meet alone
When I close my eyes
I escape into Your arms
The words form a song
You hear the melody in my heart
And it sings
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Ooh, ooh
There's a song that I hear
And it sings
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Ooh, ooh
When I close my eyes
I see a picture of Your smile
With You, I feel secure
The softness of Your life, serenades my heart
As I sing
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Ooh, ooh
As I sing
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, I hear your voice
And it's saying
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Ooh, ooh
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Ooh, ooh
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Ooh, ooh
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Ooh, ooh
