Tune: Oh how I love Jesus
('There is a name I love to hear')
*******
Jesus, constant companion
Who leaves the sheep not one
But seeks the lost, though they have strayed
Need no more be afraid
Chorus
Jesus, He is Saviour and Lord
He ever has the living word
His love it reaches unto all
All on His name may call
You leave us not, our help and guide
Within us you reside
By your Spirit, holy is He
Our comfort, strength He be - Chorus
Choosing to give your life that we
From our sins be set free
You forgive, restore, make us whole
In body, spirit, soul - Chorus
May our hearts be moulded to you
Know you compassions new
Each fresh new day along your way
Stay with us, we do pray - Chorus
And trusting that you faithfully
Shall stay, and our needs see
Provide for us our daily bread
By you our Shepherd led - Chorus
Change us where hard, impenitent
Grant gace that we repent
Tun to you in commitment sure
Friends with you evermore - Chorus

Thanks STEVE ~ for a perfect hymn and a perfect poem in the same metre ! I had to download the Hymn from You Tube but it was worth it to see & hear the Message "O how I love JESUS ~ because He first loved ME ~ AMEN" Yours BRIAN
Thanks Brian. Oops yes, some clips you have to download. They might not appear immediately on screen.
orchidee, you must be all torn up. Here you are loving two people so much: Jesus and KP! Maybe you should stick to Jesus, since He loved you first!
Thanks Fred. But oh, KP said she was going to give me her undying love. Now all I got is this literal heavy ball and chain. She put it on my leg and threw away the key. So I chucked out her Botox. She will go all saggy soon. I can't say where she will go saggy, or I will swoon! lol.
Your output never ceases to astound - you are a dedicated poet sir!
Thanks Michael. It's terrifying though - the more I write, the more I'm gonna sing them. Oh no, who can bear it?! It'll be a torment to all. heehee.
Amen.
Thanks Gold.
