I Would Love to Tell you what I Think of Jesus Lyrics

1. I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus

Since I found in Him a friend so strong and true,

I will tell you how he changed my life completely,

He did everything that no other friend could do.

Chorus :  No one ever cared for me like Jesus

There’s no other friend so kind as He

No one else could take the sin

And darkness from me

O how much He cared for me 

2. All my life was full of sin

When Jesus found me

All my heart was full

Of misery and woe

Jesus placed His strong

And loving arms around me

And He led me in the way I ought to go.

3. They are happy who dwell in your house,

For ever singing your praise.

They are happy, whose strength is in you,

In whose hearts are the roads to Zion.

4. As they go through the bitter valley,

They make it a place of prings,

They walk with ever-growing strength,

They will see the god of gods in Zion.

5. O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer,

Give ear, O God of Jacob.

Turn your eyes, O God, our shield

Look on the faces of your anointed.

6. One day within your courts

Is better than a thousand elsewhere.

The threshold of the house of God

I prefer to the dwellings of the wicked.

7. For the Lord God is a rampart, a shield,

he will give us his favour and glory.

The Lord will not refuse any good

To those who walk without blame.

Ant II: (Obligatory after verse 7)

Lord, God of hosts,

happy the man who trusts in you.

8. Give praise to the Father Almighty,

To his son, Jesus Christ, the Lord,

To the Spirit who dwells in our hearts,

Both now and forever. Amen.
