Lyrics

Sweeter as the years go by

Sweeter as the years go by

Richer, fuller, deeper

Jesus' love is sweeter

Sweeter as the years go...

Lord, its sweeter as the years go by

Sweeter as the years go by

Richer, fuller, deeper

Jesus' love is sweeter

Sweeter as the years go...

Jesus' love has showed me

I was lost in sin

Twas in his grace that brought me

To the poll again

[Pray for death?] have mercy

Pray for them to see

Higher than the heavens

Things shall ever be

Sweeter as the years go by

Sweeter as the years go by

Richer, fuller, deeper

Jesus' love is sweeter

Sweeter as the years go...

Lord, its sweeter as the years go by

Sweeter as the years go by

Richer, fuller, deeper

Jesus' love is sweeter

Sweeter as the years go...

Trod in old Judea life's

Pathway long ago

People thronged around him

Saving grace to know

Heal the broken-hearted

Calls the blind to see

Praying hard [and I'm yearning?]

Love for even me

That made him...

Even sweeter as the years go by

Sweeter as the years go by

Richer, fuller, deeper

Jesus' love is sweeter

Sweeter as the years go...

Lord, its sweeter as the years go by

Sweeter as the years go by

Richer, fuller, deeper

Jesus' love is sweeter

Sweeter as the years go...

Well its sweeter as the years go by

Sweeter as the years go by

Richer, fuller, deeper

Jesus' love is sweeter

Sweeter as the years go by
