Lyrics
Precious Jesus, how I love You
How I lift high my voice with Your praise
Holy Spirit, I implore Thee
Drench my heart as my lips part Your grace
Precious Jesus, how I love You
How I lift high my voice with Your praise
Holy Spirit, I implore Thee
Drench my heart as my lips part Your grace
I am persuaded, Lord, to love You
I have been changed to bless Your name
I am constrained by this great gospel
For ever to worship Thee
I am persuaded, Lord, to love You
I have been changed to bless Your name
I am constrained by this great gospel
For ever to worship Thee
I am persuaded, Lord, to love You
I have been changed to bless Your name
I am constrained by this great gospel
For ever to worship Thee
For ever to worship Thee
For ever to worship Thee
For ever to worship Thee
For ever to worship Thee
I am persuaded, Lord, to love You
I have been changed to bless Your name
And I am constrained by this great gospel
For ever to worship You
I am persuaded, Lord, to love You
I have been changed to bless Your name
I am constrained by this great gospel
For ever to worship Thee
For ever to worship Thee

Meaning & Inspiration
“Precious Jesus” centers on adoration shaped by gratitude and spiritual renewal. The repeated praise of Jesus and plea for the Holy Spirit present worship as both vocal confession and inward transformation. Its language moves from loving Christ and blessing his name to a settled commitment to worship, giving the song a prayerful focus rather than telling a story. Repetition reinforces devotion without shifting away from the central confession.
The declaration of being persuaded to love the Lord may recall Romans 8:38–39, where Paul expresses confidence that nothing can separate believers from God’s love. The desire for the Spirit to fill the heart also aligns with Ephesians 5:18–20, which connects life in the Spirit with singing and thanksgiving. These links support the song’s emphasis on a changed life that responds to the gospel through enduring praise. Its final lines keep worship as the lasting answer to divine grace, allowing the conclusion to function as a sustained vow of devotion.
