Jesus Jesus Jesus sweetest
name I know
He was born in an obscure village
The son of a simple peasant woman
He grew up in another small
town
And worked with his father in a carpenter
shop until He was thirty
And then for three years he was what
we might call a traveling preacher
He never wrote a book He never
held political office
The places He did go
He usually walked
He never did any of the things that one
normally associates with greatness
He had no credentials but himself
When He was only thirty-
three years old
The tide of public opinion
turned against Him
Some of His friends deserted
Him one denied Him
One even betrayed Him and turned
Him over to His enemies
He went through the mockery of a trial
He was nailed to a cross
between two thieves
While He was dying His executioners
for His only possession
His robe His purple robe
When He was dead he was
taken from the cross
And laid in a borrowed grave
Provided for the compassion
of friends
Almost twenty wide centuries
have since come and gone
And today this man is
the centerpiece of the human race
The leader in the column
of mankind problems
I think I am well with in the mark
That all the armies that ever marched
All the navies that ever sailed
the seven seas
All the legislative bodies that ever met
All the kings and rulers that
have ever rained
And all put together have not affected
the life of man here on this earth
As much as that one solitary
life
Jesus Jesus Jesus Sweetest name
I know
Sweetest name I know I know
