Words and music by Luther B. Bridges
[Verse 1]
G G7 A A7
There’s within my heart a mel – o - dy;
D D7 G D7
Je - sus whispers sweet and low,
G G7 A A7
“Fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still,”
D D7 G
In all of life’s ebb and flow.
[Chorus]
G D7 D G
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest Name I know,
A7 D D7 G
Fills my every longing, Keeps me singing as I go.
[Verse 2]
G G7 A A7
All my life was wrecked by sin and strife,
D D7 G D7
Discord filled my heart with pain;
G G7 A A7
Je - sus swept a - cross the bro – ken strings,
D D7 G
Stirred the slumb’ring chords a - gain.
[Chorus]
G D7 D G
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest Name I know,
A7 D D7 G
Fills my every longing, Keeps me singing as I go.
[Verse 3]
G G7 A A7
Feast - ing on the rich - es of His grace,
D D7 G D7
Resting ’neath His shelt’ring wing,
G G7 A A7
Al - ways look - ing on His smil – ing face,
D D7 G
That is why I shout and sing.
[Chorus]
G D7 D G
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest Name I know,
A7 D D7 G
Fills my every longing, Keeps me singing as I go.
[Verse 4]
G G7 A A7
Though sometimes He leads through wa - ters deep,
D D7 G D7
Trials fall a - cross the way;
G G7 A A7
Though sometimes the path seems rough and steep,
D D7 G
See His foot – prints all the way.
[Chorus]
G D7 D G
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest Name I know,
A7 D D7 G
Fills my every longing, Keeps me singing as I go.
[Verse 5]
G G7 A A7
Soon He’s com - ing back to welcome me
D D7 G D7
Far be - yond the star - ry sky;
G G7 A A7
I shall wing my flight to worlds un - known,
D D7 G
I shall reign with Him on high.
[Chorus]
G D7 D G
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest Name I know,
A7 D D7 G
Fills my every longing, Keeps me singing as I go.
