When I say, I love you Jesus

When I say, I love you Jesus,
And really mean I love you Jesus
And live as if I love you Jesus
How my spirit seems to soar.
With all my heart I love you Jesus
When through my deeds I love you Jesus
Thats when I truly love you Jesus,
Evermore.

Deep is the night and dark the clouds around me
When my soul with sin is bound.
How heavy is the burden of a broken bond with thee.
Yet brilliant is the sunlight of the dawn
When all the chains of wrong are gone,
Oh Shepherd, Lead me with thy songs sweet peaceful melody.

Cause when I say, I love you Jesus,
And really mean I love you Jesus
And live as if I love you Jesus
How my spirit seems to soar.
With all my heart I love you Jesus
When through my deeds I love you Jesus
Thats when I truly love you Jesus,
Evermore.

So often I profess my love for thee
But I dont live accordingly,
And soon my heart is filled with doubts and fear that
Tear me down.
Yet when I call upon thy holy name
And let thy light dispel my shame
I know there comes a power from thee
To lead me toward thy crown.

Cause when I say, I love you Jesus,
And really mean I love you Jesus
And live as if I love you Jesus
How my spirit seems to soar.
With all my heart I love you Jesus
When through my deeds I love you Jesus
Thats when I truly love you Jesus,
Evermore.
