Lyrics

Only a song for the Mas­ter,
Sung in the spir­it of pray­er;
Only a song for the Mas­ter,
Cheering some one in des­pair.

Refrain

Only a song, on­ly a song,
Praising my Sav­ior all the day long,
Only a song, on­ly a song,
Praising my Sav­ior all the day long.

Only a song for the Mas­ter,
Bringing a mes­sage to you;
Only a song for the Mas­ter,
Telling a sto­ry so true.

Refrain

Only a song for the Mas­ter,
Sinner, O list­en to­day;
Only a song for the Mas­ter,
Thro’ Him there’s no­thing to pay.
