BECAUSE HIS NAME IS JESUS- Mahalia Jackson (see link for additional verses)
In vain I've tried a thousand ways,
My fears to quell my hopes to raise,
But what I need thro' all my days,
Is Jesus....Is Jesus.
My souls is night, my heart is steel,
I cannot see, I cannot feel,
For light, for life, I must appeal,
To Jesus....to Jesus.
