Chorus: Since Jesus touched me with His love, I've kept my eyes on things above; I've had a song the whole day long, Since Jesus touched me with His love. 2 What wordly things so much I sought, Today I shun and count as naught; While things eternal and sublime I crave and sigh for all the time. [Chorus] 3 From such a Friend I cannot roam, His hand will lead me safely home; In life, in death, His name adore, And trust and love Him evermore.
