There is a name I love to hear

I love to sing its worth

It sounds like music in my ear

The sweetest name on earth.

Oh, how I love jesus

Oh, how I love jesus

Oh, how I love jesus

Because he first loved me.

It tells me of a savior's love

Who died and set me free

It tells me of his precious blood

The sinner's perfect plea.

Oh, how I love jesus

Oh, how I love jesus

Oh, how I love jesus

Because he first loved me

Jesus first loved me.

He tells of one whose loving heart

Can feel my deepest woe

Who in each sorrow bears a part

That none can bear below.

Oh, how I love jesus

Oh, how I love jesus

Oh, how I love jesus

Because he first loved me, yeah...

Because he first loved me.
