The project began as a solo effort by Graham in collaboration with Powell. After deciding that the songs they had written would be better suited for a group, they joined with Grimm and former member Kyle Kupecky and released their first EP as a group under the name Yellow Cavalier. After changing their name to Anthem Lights, the band eventually signed with Reunion Records, and, on May 11, 2011, released their self-titled debut album, including the lead single Can't Shut Up . Just recently, Kupecky announced his departure from the band, as he felt God leading him to work on a solo project. Anthem Lights' newest member, Joey Stamper, has taken his place.

My Jesus I Love Thee
Anthem Lights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

My Jesus I love Thee, I know Thou art mine
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign
My gracious Redeemer, my Saviour art Thou
If ever I loved Thee my Jesus 'tis now

I love Thee because Thou has first loved me
And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree
I love Thee for wearing the
Thorns on Thy brow
If ever I loved Thee my Jesus 'tis now

In mansions of glory and endless delight
I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright
I'll sing with the glittering




Crown on my brow
If ever I loved Thee my Jesus 'tis now

My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign;
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree;
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

I’ll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,
And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;
And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
