Representative Text

1 Jesus, the name high over all,
Name that I love so well,
He saved my soul and He made me whole,
And with Him I'll ever dwell.

Refrain:
I love my Savior dear,
I love my Savior dear,
When I think of the love that brought Him from above,
I love Him, my savior dear.

2 Fairer than lilies of the field,
Brighter than morning star,
He sent His light to make my path bright,
When I came to Him from afar. [Refrain]
