I Heard It First On the Radio

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.

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
