When I am low

Whenever the world cuts me down

And I can't seem to cope

You… soothe me with salve

You fill me with faith soI'm never alone

And You are the song I continue to sing

And You save my life and command me to breathe

And You are the light enabling me

To love myself with pride, so

Jesus I do

I do, Jesus I do

Love to let You hear it

Love to feel Your spirit

Gotta hold on

Make me feel brand new

Jesus I do

I do, Jesus I do

Love to let You hear it

Love to feel Your spirit

Gotta hold on

Make me feel brand new

When I am down in misery

I call Your name and I receive

The joy I need to set me free

From all of life's atrocities

Jesus I do

I do, Jesus I do

Love to let You hear it

Love to feel Your spirit

Gotta hold on

Make me feel brand new

I, I thought I would never find

A true love like You

Now I can never turn loose

Love that I need it and

Jesus I do

Jesus I do

I really do, I do

Jesus I do

Jesus I do

Jesus I do

You’ re the reason I pull through

You’re the reason I pull through

Jesus I do

...

I promise too

Jesus I do

Jesus I do

Jesus I do

Through the darkest of nights I need You

Jesus I do

Through the pain and the strife I go through

Instead of losing it, I call on You

Jesus I do

Jesus I do

Jesus I do

Through the darkest of nights I need You

Jesus I do

Through the pain and the strife I go through

Unvarnished truth

Instead of losing it, I call on You

Jesus I do

Jesus I do

Jesus I do

Jesus I do

Jesus I do
