"Why Do I Sing About Jesus?"

Deep in my heart there’s a gladness;
Jesus has saved me from sin!
Praise to His name, what a Savior!
Cleansing without and within!

Refrain
Why do I sing about Jesus?
Why is He precious to me?
He is my Lord and my Saviour,
Dying, He set me free!

Only a glimpse of His goodness,
That was sufficient for me.
Only one look at the Saviour;
Then was my spirit set free.

He is the fairest of fair ones;
He is the Lily, the Rose.
Rivers of mercy surround Him;
Grace, love and pity He shows.
