Because I Love Jesus

by James Rowe

My path may be lonely, and dark be the night
The clouds may be hiding the sun from my sight
Yet I have assurance that all will be right
Because I love Jesus.

Because I love Jesus, my Savior and thine
There's peace in my soul, there is comfort divine
'Twill always abide, for the promise is mine
Because I love Jesus.

Though loved ones be taken away from my side
Though riches and honor to me be denied
Yet if I but trust Him no ill can betide
Because I love Jesus.

Though all that is evil against me combine
Though Satan around me his snares should entwine
Yet if I am faithful a crown will be mine
Because I love Jesus.

Chorus

Because I love Jesus, Jesus
Because I love Jesus
My soul is at rest, and in Him I am blest
Because I love Jesus.
