Sweet Jesus, He is mine

Do you ever wonder what we'd do
if we could never pray
If we could not talk to God
And depend on His guidance every day

Oh how dark our every night would be
if His light did not shine
I know I could not sleep because such fear
would fill this heart of mine

Our hearts would never sing a new song
we’d feel so lost and all alone
if we could never talk to God
and claim Jesus’ love for our own.

But all these things we should not fear
because our burdens He does share
we only have to whisper low sweet Jesus
and know He hears our every prayer.

Jesus walks beside us in this barren land
always there to lift us up when we fall
He gently takes us by the hand
our love sweet Jesus, Lord of all

And though the night can be dark sometimes
His light in us forever shines
we can sleep in peace and should not fear
For Jesus voice we can hear
And all the people say
Sweet Lord Jesus
The King,
He is mine
