Text: | There's Within My Heart a Melody |
Author: | Luther B. Bridgers |
Tune: | SWEETEST NAME |
Composer: | Luther B. Bridges |
1 There's within my heart a melody
Jesus whispers sweet and low:
"Fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still,"
in all of life's ebb and flow.
Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
sweetest name I know,
fills my every longing,
keeps me singing as I go.
2 All my life was wrecked by sin and strife,
discord filled my heart with pain;
Jesus swept across the broken strings,
stirred the slumbering chords again. [Refrain]
3 Feasting on the riches of his grace,
resting 'neath his sheltering wing,
always looking on his smiling face--
that is why I shout and sing. [Refrain]
4 Though sometimes he leads through waters deep,
trials fall across the way,
though sometimes the path seems rough and steep,
see his footprints all the way. [Refrain]
5 Soon he's coming back to welcome me
far beyond the starry sky;
I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown;
I shall reign with him on high. [Refrain]
