There is a name I love to hear

1
There is a name I love to hear,
    I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in mine ear,
    The sweetest name on earth.
  Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me!

Although I was saved at 11 years old, it wasn't until I was 16 that a dear older "pentecostal" sister taught me this song... she sang it often, spontaneously, and with such joy that I remember it being the first time I enjoyed the Lord by loving Him openly, freely, and wholeheartedly. I had been "confirmed" in a Lutheran denomination as a teenager, but expressing one's love for the Lord was never, ever mentioned! It is no small thing to simply love the Lord and drink the Spirit with joy, moment by moment. I remember this sister with deep love, for she gave me a glimpse of what was to progress into a normal Christian life (and church life)! When we are enjoying and loving Jesus, drinking and eating the transfigured Christ, then what happens? We express Him! We see Jesus in one another! We become shiny and golden!

I love this song... brings childhood memories. It is my dad and mom who encouraged me to sing this in the Methodist Church when I was barely 4 years old.
