Lyrics

The Name which I whisper as morning time breaks,
And is on my tongue as my body awakes,
Is Je­sus, is Je­sus, is Je­sus, Je­sus.

The Name which I whisper as hours will fly,
And lives in my mind until evening will die,
Is Je­sus, is Je­sus, is Je­sus, Je­sus.

The Name which I mention when night’s coming near,
The Name of the Man that my heart loves so dear,
Is Je­sus, is Je­sus, is Je­sus, Je­sus.

That Name is the only last word I will say,
The first I will whisper in Hea­ven one day,
Is Je­sus, is Je­sus, is Je­sus, Je­sus.
