Praise Poems to The Lord
I Love That Sweet, Sweet Name
Can be sung to the tune of “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus”
You are Jesus, you are the Savior,
You were Sinless, with pure behavior,
You have chosen to bear our blame,
Oh how I love that sweet, sweet name.
You are Jesus, you are the Way,
You are Master, we do as you say,
You promise treasure for us to claim,
Oh how I love that sweet, sweet name.
You are Jesus, you are the Truth,
You give your gospel, to all our youth,
You are God yet we share your name,
Oh how I love that sweet, sweet name.
You are Jesus, you are the Life,
You give us meaning, we’ll be your wife,
You are the target for whom we aim;
Oh how I love that sweet, sweet name.
You are Jesus, you are the Light,
You give us vision, you give us insight,
You help us thru our darkest shame,
Oh how I love that sweet, sweet name.
You are Jesus, you are the Word,
You will return when, each ear has heard,
You died to save us when you came,
Oh how I love that sweet, sweet name.
You are Jesus, King of Glory,
You are Counselor, you choose the jury,
You represent us you clear our name,
Oh how I love that sweet, sweet name.
You are Jesus, the great I Am,
You are eternal, you are the Lamb,
You have always been the same,
Oh how I love that sweet, sweet name.
