~ I'm Hooked On Jesus ~



He walked up that hill called Mt. Calvary,
to die on an old rugged tree.
He prayed "Father won't you let this cup
please pass from me".

He hung there to be our Savior,
gave victory when He conquered the grave.
The truth of His resurrection....
to sin we're no longer a slave.

I'm hooked on Jesus,
He's the author of these words I sing.
He's the one who died for me,
that I might be set free.

He shed his blood at Calvary...
He's the one who loved me so...
I'm hooked on Jesus,
and I'll never let him go.

I've a mansion prepared in Heaven,
and I'm going home there some day.
Walls of jasper, streets of gold,
in that city, we are told,
lie just inside the gate.

What a time it will be over yonder.
We'll see loved ones who've gone on before...
but, the one I want to see most of all...
is Jesus, my Savior, my Lord.

I'm hooked on Jesus,
He's the author of these words I sing.
He's the one who died for me,
that I might be set free.

He shed his blood at Calvary...
He's the one who loved me so...
I'm hooked on Jesus,
and I'll never let him go.
