There’s a song my heart is singing
As I journey day by day;
Thro’ my soul the words are ringing,
I’ll go with thee all the way.
Refrain
’Tis the music born of love,
Precious gift from above,
Sing, my soul, in ecstasy,
Praise to Him who set you free.
There’s a song my heart is singing
As I do my Master’s will,
To my life true gladness bringing,
As I hear His Peace, be still.
Refrain
There’s a song my heart is singing,
As I triumph over sin,
While I to the cross am clinging,
Hoping still the crown to win.
Refrain
There’s a song my heart is singing
And I cannot tell the joy
Jesus to my soul is bringing,
While His work my thoughts employ.
