Jesus My Savior

from One Thing by the weak & the few

/

about

"Jesus My Savior" is adapted from John Newton's hymn "How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds" which is part of the "Olney Hymns" collection by John Newton, and William Cowper. Musical composition/arrangement and additional lyrics added by Dave Campbell.

We draw every comfort and encouragement from the name of Jesus, our Savior.

lyrics

VERSE 1
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In this believer's ear
It soothes my sorrows, heals my wounds
And drives away my fear
It makes my wounded spirit whole
And calms my troubled mind
It's manna to my hungry soul
And in it peace I find

VERSE 2
Your name proclaimed from cursing lips
While suffering in my place
The Holy One was torn and ripped
And tears had drenched Your face
By You my prayers acceptance gain
Although with sin defiled
Satan accuses me in vain
For I am now your child

CHORUS
Jesus my Savior
My Shepherd and King
My Joy of salvation
Forever I’ll sing

VERSE 3
How weak the effort of my heart
And cold my warmest thought
But when I see you on that cross
I praise you as I ought
Till heav’n I will your love proclaim
With every fleeting breath
And may the music of your name
Refresh my soul in death
