I Heard It First On the Radio

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
The 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 we 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
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
