I still remember when I first met Jesus
Sitting on a couch in Iowa
He came into my heart
Gave me a brand-new start
I knew that He was with me all the way
It’s been over 40 years since that day
When the burden of my sin was washed away
Since then I’ve learned to pray
And to follow in His ways
But most of all I’ve learned to praise His name
My heart cries out to praise Him
For all He’s done for me
His mercy’s overwhelming
His grace is sweet indeed
I lift my hands in worship
To Jesus Christ my King
My heart cries out to praise Him
He is my everything
Today I know He teaches me His truth
And He’s become my guiding light
I trust in Him always
I know He plans my days
I will never be out of His sight
And should this day bring troubles
That make me doubt and fear
I know He’ll comfort me
And in His arms I’ll be
Safe and sound, His love will be so near
My heart cries out to praise Him
For all He’s done for me
His mercy’s overwhelming
His grace is sweet indeed
I lift my hands in worship
To Jesus Christ my King
My heart cries out to praise Him
He is my everything
