Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so,
And I heard it first on the radio.
This love of God so rich and strong,
Shall be the saints' and angels' songs,
And I heard it first on the radio.
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound ?
The lost and lonely can be found,
And grace can even save a wretch like me!
No other love could make a way;
No other love my debt could pay,
And I heard it first on the radio.
Needing refuge for my soul,
When I had no place to go,
And I heard it first on the radio.
From a life of wasted years
He gave me peace and calmed the fears,
And I heard it first on the radio.
Had I not heard where would I be,
Without this love that lifted me,
When I was lost and nothing else would help?
Just as I was without one plea,
Sweet Jesus came and rescued me ?
And I heard it first on the radio.
Alas, and did my Savior bleed,
That captive spirits could be freed,
And I heard it first on the radio.
My soul has found a resting place
Until I meet Him face to face,
And I heard it first on the radio
I love to tell the story true,
And those who know still love it, too;
Oh, what a precious Friend we have in Him!
And when in glory saints will tell,
'Twill be the theme they love so well ?
And we heard it first on the radio.
