In contrast, I heard this gospel song "He's Sweet I Know" on a record about 25 years ago, and I've never forgotten it. I think the singer was Jesse Dixon, but I'm not sure. I really love this song.
I'm not sure who the composer of this song is, but apparently Mahalia Jackson is known for singing it. Here's the words:


HE'S SWEET I KNOW

He's sweet I know
He's sweet I know
Dark clouds may rise
And strong winds may blow
But, I can the world
Wherever I may go
That I have found a Savior
And He's sweet I know
(repeat)

I can't forget
When I was sad
Head hanging down
And my soul feeling bad
But, all I could say
Was "Lord, take my heart"
You know, Jesus heard me praying
And He gave me a song
(chorus)

Sometimes I'm tried
By Satan's snares
And my burdens seem
So hard to bear
And I'm talked about, Lord
In whatever I do
But, I know a Savior
And He'll take me on through
(chorus)

Here's a link to a homemade YouTube video of this song:
