Praise the Lord

I remember once I met a man
Who’d suffered in his life
And he told me what had helped him
Through those years of strife
He said loneliness is the greatest pain
Despair is the greatest ill
But even in my darkest hour
Jesus loves me still
So I just praise the Lord
I just praise the Lord
I just praise the Lord
That Jesus loves me still
I often thought about that man
About the things he said
Although I must admit his words
Just jangled in my head
But sometimes feeling down and out
And no place left to go
I think of what he told me and let go
And I just praise the Lord
I just praise the Lord
I just praise the Lord
That Jesus loves me still
Life is like a tapestry
You may have heard it said
And the story of our lives is told
With multicoloured threads
So we must have dark colours
To contrast with the bright
And I thank God I realize
In the darkness there is light
If we just praise the Lord
We just praise the Lord
We just praise the Lord
That Jesus loves me still
Everybody just praise the Lord
Hallelujah praise the Lord
Hallelujah praise the Lord
That Jesus loves us still.
