From the very first time I heard about You
That You loved me so
I began to feel a little strange
I couldn’t understand anything
But as time goes on, it feels so good
To know that You love me so much
Oh Jesus, You’re the Lover of my soul
Jesus, You’re the Lover of my soul
Of my soul!
I didn’t know someone who’d ever love me like He does
Oh how you care for me!
And now I have a sound reason
To give Him all of my praise
And now I can start to praise His Name
Now and for the rest of my life
Oh Jesus, You are the Lover of my soul
Oh Jesus, You’re the Lover of my soul
You are my help, my shield
The Giver of life
Though I stumble, I will not fall
For You hold my hand
To You, Oh Lord, I lift up my soul and my heart
I love You!
Jesus, You’re the Lover of my soul
Jesus, You’re the Lover of my soul
Repeat:Jesus, You’re the Lover of my soul
Nobody like you, None compared to Him
King of Kings, El Shaddai, Prince of Peace
Jehovah Prince of Peace, Oh Jesus
Nobody like You Jesus
None can compare to You Jesus
You brought me out of a deep muddy clay
Placed my feet on the rock to stay
What manner of love is this
That You would lay Your life down just for me!
Devils tremble at the mention of Your Name
None could ever compare to You x2
Where would I be without You?
Where would I be without You? Jesus
You .?. my affection, you’ve captured my heart
Oh what love is this?
I’m so grateful x3 For You Jesus
For the Name of the Lord is a strong Tower
The righteous run in, and they are safe
Jesus x?
Yes You are Jesus

Based on the original hymn “Near the Cross” by Frances Crosby (1869)
Repeat: Refrain
I’m down on my knees
I’m weak, You are strong Oh Lord
Would you renew? Please Jesus
Would You in the morning
Down on my knees, Jesus
Renew! Would You renew Jesus
They that wait upon the Lord
Shall renew their strength
They shall mount up with wings like an eagle
They shall run and not be weary
They shall walk and not faint
Teach me to wait (Repeat)
