I've been hunting and finally found it!
I've learned to know a name I highly treasure.
O how it thrills my spirit through and through!
O precious name, beyond degree or measure,
My heart is stirred when-e'er I think of You!
Refrain:
My heart is stirred when-e'er I think of Jesus,
That blessed name which sets the captive free -
The only name through which I find salvation.
No name on earth has meant so much to me.
Verse 2
That name brings gladness to a soul in sorrow.
It makes life's shadows and its clouds depart -
Brings strength in weakness for today, tomorrow.
That names brings healing to an aching heart.
Verse 3
That name still lives and will live on forever,
While kings and kingdoms will forgotten be.
Through mist or rain, 'twill be beclouded never,
That name shall shine and shine eternally.
Refrain -
My heart is stirred when-e'er I think of Jesus,
That blessed name which sets the captive free -
The only name through which I find salvation.
No name on earth has meant so much to me!
