He's Sweet, I Know

Representative Text

Refrain:
He's sweet, I know. He's sweet, I know.
Storm clouds may rise, strong winds may blow.
I'll tell the world wherever I go,
That I've found a Savior, and He's sweet, I know.

1 I can't forget when I was sad.
Head hanging down, soul feeling bad.
All I could say was, Lord, take my heart.
Jesus heard and saved me, and gave me a start. [Refrain]

2 I have my ticket here in my hand.
I'm going to that beautiful land.
Sometime I weep and sometime I moan.
But I'm bound for glory, and I'm going on. [Refrain]
