not just a pop song, 4: how sweet it is

(i heard the gospel version of this song, in acapella no less! :D )

"How Sweet It Is"
by James Taylor

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

I needed the shelter of someone's arms, and there You were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs, and there You were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank You Jesus
I want to stop and thank You Jesus

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 it seems 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 want to stop and thank You Jesus
I just want to stop and thank You Jesus

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's You and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank You Jesus
I just want to stop and thank You Jesus

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