i heard it first on the radio lyrics

Jesus loves me, this I know. For the Bible tells me so, And I heard it first on the radio. This love of God so rich and strong, Shall be the saints' and angels' song, And I heard it first on the radio. Amazing grace-how sweet the sound-the lost and lonely can be found, And grace can even save a wretch like me! No other love could make a way; No other love my debt could pay. And I heard it first on the radio. ~ Needing refuge for my soul, when I had no place to go-And I heard it first on the radio. From a life of wasted years, He gave me peace and calmed my fears, And I heard it first on the radio. Had I not heard where would I be, Without this love that lifted me, When I was lost and nothing else would help? Just as I was without one plea, Sweet Jesus came and rescued me-And I heard it first on the radio. ~ Alas, and did my Savior bleed, That captive spirits could be freed, And I heard it first on the radio. My soul has found a resting place, Until I meet Him face to face-And I heard it first on the radio. I love to tell the story true, And those who know still love it, too; Oh, what a precious Friend we have in Him! And when in glory saints will tell, 'Twill be the theme they love so well-And we heard it first on the radio. ~ Tag: Na na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na. And I heard it first on the radio. Na na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na. And I heard it first on the radio. I heard it first on the radio. And I heard it first on the radio.
