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 pour 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

(Instrumental)

All my friends turned me down I was lonely
Went inside and I fell to my knees
I called out to my lord and he every word
Praise glory my Jesus wants me

Jesus wants me yes Jesus wants me
He sent my pour soul on the course of calvary
Drifting along till 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 pour 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
