My Lord Jesus

Deep pain and sorrow I suffered
Joy and rest of mind you offered 
This opened my blind eyes to see
My lord Jesus ,I will praise thee.

I labor day and night in vain
But you comfort me without pain
From bondage of  foes I broke free
My lord Jesus ,I will praise thee .

You died and took my sins away
Haba! Lord! What else could I say
For me, you were hung on a tree
My lord Jesus, I will praise thee.

Your love and care can`t be measured
This true friendship must be treasured
You were bruised and booed because of me
My lord Jesus ,I will praise thee .

Evil can`t bear to hear your name
Your might and touch remain the same
True and  faithful you will always be
Jesus! Forever will I praise thee.
