Lyrics

Is your heart griev­ing o’er life and its care?
Hardly be­liev­ing that God an­swers pray­er?
Seek Him and know of His love full and free,
’Till your heart is filled with sing­ing,
He loves me.

Refrain

Grace and pardon He of­fers you to­day,
Full sal­va­tion and com­fort on life’s way;
Take Him now and for­ev­er­more be free;
Let your heart be al­ways sing­ing,
He loves me.

Though friends may leave you your bur­den to bear,
Though foes de­ceive you, and life fills with care,
There is a com­fort that ne­ver will flee,
If your heart is al­ways sing­ing,
He loves me.

Refrain

Love is a trea­sure that gold can­not buy,
God’s full­est mea­sure gave Je­sus to die;
Purchased sal­va­tion on Cal­va­ry’s tree—
Let your heart be ev­er sing­ing,
He loves me.
