Jesus loves me, this I know. For the Bible tells me so,
       Db7/F        Gb             Db2
And I heard it first    on the radio.
                    Ebm/Db    Db                              Ebm/Db   Db   Ebm7  Db/F
This love of God so rich and strong, Shall be the saints' and angels' song,
       Db7/F        Gb  Ab              Db
And I heard it first       on the radio.

[Verse]
  Gb              Cb/Gb     Gb                        Cb/Gb  Gb
Amazing grace-how sweet the sound-the lost and lonely can be found,
    Db             Gb/Db  Db Dbsus2 Db   Ab
And grace can even save    a wretch like me!
   Db               Gb/Db  Db                    Gb/Db      Db   Db/F
No other love could make a way; No other love my debt could pay.
       Db7/F       Gb  Ab             Db
And I heard   it first    on the radio.

[Verse]
Db                          Db            Gb/Db    Db    Db/F
Needing refuge for my soul, when I had no place to go-
      Db7/F        Gb             Db2
And I heard it first on the radio.
               Ebm/Db Db                          Ebm/Db    Db   Ebm7  Db/F
From a life of wasted years, He gave me peace and calmed my fears,
       Db7/F        Gb  Ab              Db
And I heard it first      on the radio.

[Verse]
    Gb                Cb/Gb   Gb                         Cb/Gb  Gb
Had I not heard where would I be, Without this love that lifted me,
     Db             Gb/Db  Db  Dbsus2 Db    Ab
When I was lost and noth - ing   else would help?
     Db            Gb/Db    Db            Db             Ebm/Db  Db  Ebm7  Db7/F
Just as I was without    one plea, Sweet Jesus came and rescued  me-
       Db7/F       Gb  Ab             Db  D
And I heard it first     on the radio.

Alas, and did my Savior bleed, That captive spirits could be freed,
        D7/F#          G                D
And I heard    it first   on the radio.
   D                G/D     D                       Em/D     D    Em7  D/F#
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;
    D                G/D   D  Dsus2  D  A
Oh, what a precious Friend we have   in Him!
    D              G/D        D            D                  Em/D   D     Em7  D/F#
And when in glory saints will tell, 'Twill be the theme they love so well-
        D7/F#        G   A              D
And we heard it first      on the radio.
