my Jesus I love Thee
I know Thou art mine
for Thee all the follies of sin I resign
my gracious Redeemer my Savior art Thou
if ever I loved Thee my Jesus tis now
I love Thee because Thou has first loved me
and purchased my pardon
on Calvary's tree
I love Thee for wearing
the thorns on Thy brow
if ever I loved Thee my Jesus tis now
I'll love Thee in life
I will love Thee in death
and praise Thee as long
as Thou lendest me breath
and say when the death dew
lies cold on my brow
if ever I loved Thee my Jesus tis now
in mansions of glory and endless delight
I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow
if ever I loved Thee my Jesus tis now
an incredible story of life
in Jesus
we love
because He first
loved us
He redeemed us
by wearing thorns twisted
into a crown
thorns tearing the
skin of our
priceless
precious
rose
He is all we need
in life or in death
I have seen the death dew
lying on my father's brow
as we sang him into heaven
using these very words
but oh the victory
as Jesus reaches down
gathering His beloved into His arms
placing the glittering crown
on the head of he who ran
the race well
earning the prize
for which God called
him heavenward in Christ Jesus
my Jesus I love You
I will love You forever
I love You with love indescribable
even when ~
ESPECIALLY when
my heart feels burdened
heavy
lonely
this is the time
this is the moment
when I will worship
even if the worship
is coming from a
heart broken
I will sing
I will praise
I will worship
through tears
through laughter
through any circumstance
for as long as He lends
me breath
and when I breathe no more
I will be worshiping
I will be singing
I will be dancing
in the presence of Jesus
