There’s Within My Heart a Melody- 550

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.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus- sweetest name I know,

fill my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.

All my life was wrecked by sin and strife,

discord filled my heart with pain;

Jesus swept across the broken strings,

stirred the slumb’ring chords again.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus- sweetest name I know,

fill my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.

Feasting on the riches of his grace,

resting ‘neath his shelt’ring wing,

always looking on his smiling face-

that is why I shout and sing.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus- sweetest name I know,

fill my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.

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.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus- sweetest name I know,

fill my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.

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.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus- sweetest name I know,

fill my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.
