How Sweet It Is

Needed the shelter of someone's arms
And there You were
Needed someone to understand
My ups and downs and there You were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I wanna stop and thank You, Jesus
I just wanna stop and thank You, Jesus, oh
Yeah

How sweet it is to be loved by You
How sweet it is to be loved by You

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be
Without You in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went
You know I'd been there before
But You brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I wanna stop and thank You, Jesus
I just wanna stop and thank You, Jesus, oh
Yeah

How sweet it is to be loved by You
How sweet it is to be loved by You

You were better to me than I was to myself
For me
There is You and there ain't nobody else
I wanna stop and thank You, Jesus
I just wanna stop and thank You, Jesus, oh
Yeah

How sweet it is to be loved by You
How sweet it is to be loved by You, by You

To be loved, to be loved
To be truly, truly loved by You, just You
(To be loved, to be loved)
(To be truly, truly loved, yeah, yeah)
To be loved, to be loved, yeah
By You, by You just You
(To be loved, to be loved)
(To be truly, truly loved, yeah, yeah)
To be loved, to be loved by You
