I Find Jesus
Bill & Gloria Gaither Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All about forgiveness and grace
Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about my Savior's face
Here comes my old friend, the preacher
He's knockin' on my front door
He's out tryin' to save all the sinners
I love the easy conversation
Man, that preacher sure can talk
It brings up my need for salvation
Even though he knows I'm stubborn to a fault
Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about forgiveness and grace
Tell me one more time about Jesus
Lord, I need just a little more faith
I walked by the church Sunday mornin'
I slipped on in the back door
It's sure been a long time coming
And tell my preacher what I need to know
His words were like a cool drink of water
He said, "Sinners come on down the aisle"
So I went runnin' for the alter
You should have seen my old friend, the preacher smile
Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about forgiveness and grace
Tell me one more time about Jesus
I long to see my Savior's face
Oh, I long to see my Savior's face

@moonoggin
I walk in silence when it comes
This feeling when the spirit leads me on
If the dogs are barking and the night is rough
I take it as a sign to climb above.
The city to the hill among the clouds
Where I can see my Saviour now
He's waiting with His palm to me outstretched
His mercy is a balm when I'm perplexed.
I find Jesus in the darkest night
I find Jesus in the morning light
I find Jesus in the face of those
Whose hearts are singing with the Heavenly Host.
Sometimes when I feel all alone
I look around and all are gone
The friends that I rely upon
Are busy doing what they want.
I look within and I am told
It's Sunday morning in my soul
And there I find a holy hall
Where congregations heed the call.
I find Jesus in the darkest night
I find Jesus in the morning bright
I find Jesus in the face of those
Whose hearts are singing with the Heavenly Host.
And when I lay down my last time
And feel a chill run up my spine
And recognize my time has come
I'll look around, He'll lead me home.
He'll reach His loving hand to me
And bid me climb to victory
Where we'll find kindred spirits there
Hearts raised in song without a care.
I find Jesus in the darkest night
I find Jesus in the morning bright
I find Jesus in the face of those
Whose hearts are singing with the Heavenly Host.
