"I Heard It First On The Radio" Lyrics

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 I heard it first on the radio.

[Tag:]
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.
