It was a dark night
I fell asleep
I should have waited for him
My flesh was weak
But even when I sleep my heart is awake
I am undone, lovesick yeah
Love sick yeah

They ask
What does he have more than others
What makes this different than all the religions
What does he have more than others
I say
Chief among ten thousand
He’s all together lovely

Yahweh yahweh yahweh
This is my beloved
Yahweh, yahweh, yahweh
This is my friend

Fairest Jesus you’re the chiefest
I for you and you for me
Fairest Jesus you’re the chiefest
I for you and you for me

Yahweh yahweh yahweh
This is my beloved
Yahweh, yahweh, yahweh
This is my friend

What does he have more than others
What makes this different than all the religions
What does he have more than others
And I say
Chief among ten thousand
Lord of all creation
The lion bold
The lamb slain
The body and the blood that paid for me

Yahweh yahweh yahweh
This is my beloved
Yahweh, yahweh, yahweh
This is my friend
