Lyrics
I was alone in the darkness
Trouble was all I could see
Then from above He looked down with His love
Now I'm happy 'cause Jesus wants me
Jesus wants me, yes, Jesus wants me
He sent my poor soul on the course of Calvary
Now I can sleep, He's gathering His sheep
And I'll stick with the Shepherd 'cause Jesus wants me
All my friends turned me down, I was lonely
Then in sorrow I fell to my knees
I called out to my Lord and He heard every word
Praise, glory, my Jesus wants me
Jesus wants me, yes, Jesus wants me
He sent my soul on the course of Calvary
Drifting along 'til the Savior calls me home
I'm so happy now 'cause my Jesus wants me
Yes, Jesus wants me, my Jesus wants me
He sent my poor soul on the course of Calvary
Now I can sleep, he's gathering his sheep
And I'll stick with the shepherd 'cause Jesus wants me
