Thank You Jesus

These are my original lyrics for a stirring gospel song.
Jesus Thank You
Copyright 2024 Rick Tobin
Verse 1: (single voice acapella)
Hold me Jesus.
Help me, Jesus.
Let the tears of the cross
Roll over all my sins.
Hide me, Jesus,
From Satan’s fires…
Hold me closely
In your loving arms.
Chorus: (lively and loud) (clapping and background singers)
Up into the heavens…
Far away from Earth’s despair,
I will find my jubilation
In the throne of God’s great care.
(multiple voices and louder)
Beat the drums
And Sound the horns
Stamp your feet and
Praise him loudly,
For the hand of Jesus saved me
And my soul is now reborn.
Bridge: (soulful single voice acapella)
Son of Mary by the fireside--
Warming all the cold and worn;
Lifts your eyes to heaven’s promise,
Let your faith be surely sworn.
Sing the everlasting gospel.
Raise your prayers up to the sky…
That the day of judgment finds you
In the sweet by and by.
