Lyrics

I’ve some­thing in my heart that Je­sus gave to me,
It makes me feel like sing­ing glo­ry all the day;
He found my cap­tive soul and gave me li­ber­ty,
And now I feel like sing­ing glo­ry!

Refrain

He makes the path grow bright­er ev­ery pass­ing day;
He makes the bur­den light­er all along the way;
His Word is my de­light, His will I now ob­ey,
And all the time I’m sing­ing glo­ry!

My Sav­ior loosed my tongue
That I might speak His praise;
Since then I have been sing­ing glo­ry all the day;
I love to tell the lost of Je­sus and His ways,
And oh, it keeps me sing­ing glo­ry!

Refrain

My Sav­ior took my feet from out the mi­ry clay;
Since then I have been sing­ing glo­ry all the day;
He placed them on the rock
That shall not pass away—
I can­not keep from sing­ing glo­ry!

Refrain

O wea­ry heart and sad, O hea­vy la­den soul,
If you would feel like sing­ing glo­ry all the day,
Just let the Sav­ior in, and let Him take con­trol;
Then you will feel like sing­ing glo­ry!
