I needed the shelter of someone's arms there, and there you are
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs, Lord, there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion

I want to stop and thank you Lord
I want to stop and thank you Jesus
How sweet it is to be loved by you, oh yeah
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 Lord
I just wanna stop, thank you Jesus
How sweet it is to be loved by you, it feels so fine
How sweet it is to be loved by you, yeah

You were better to than I am to myself
For me, there's you and nobody else

I want to stop and thank you Lord
I just wanna stop, thank you Jesus
How sweet it is to be loved by you, change my life Lord
How sweet it is to be loved by you, it's so fine
How sweet it is to be loved by you, oh yeah
How sweet it is to be loved by you, oh yeah
How sweet it is to be loved by you...
