- 1There's within my heart a melodyJesus whispers sweet and low,"Fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still,"In all of life's ebb and flow.Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,‐Sweetest name I know,Fills my ev'ry longing,Keeps me singing as I go.
- 2All my life was wrecked by sin and strife,Discord filled my heart with pain,Jesus swept across the broken strings,Stirred the slumb'ring chords again.Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,‐Sweetest name I know,Fills my ev'ry longing,Keeps me singing as I go.
- 3Feasting on the riches of His grace,Resting 'neath His shelt'ring wing,Always looking on His smiling face,That is why I shout and sing.Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,‐Sweetest name I know,Fills my ev'ry longing,Keeps me singing as I go.
- 4Though sometimes He leads through waters deep,Trials fall across the way,Though sometimes the path seems rough and steep,See His footprints all the way.Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,‐Sweetest name I know,Fills my ev'ry longing,Keeps me singing as I go.
- 5Soon He's coming back to welcome me,Far beyond the starry sky;I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown,I shall reign with Him on high.Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,‐Sweetest name I know,Fills my ev'ry longing,Keeps me singing as I go.
