| Text: | Why Do I Sing About Jesus |
| Author: | Albert A. Ketchum |
| Tune: | KETCHUM |
| Composer: | Albert A. Ketchum |
1. 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!
Why do I sing about Jesus?
Why is He precious to me?
He is my lord and my Savior;
Dying, He set me free!
2. Only a glimpse of His goodness;
That was sufficient for me.
Only one look at the Savior;
Then was my spirit set free.
Why do I sing about Jesus?
Why is He precious to me?
He is my lord and my Savior;
Dying, He set me free.
3. He is the fairest of fair ones;
He is the Lily, the Rose;
Rivers of mercy surround Him,
Grace, love, and pity He shows.
Why do I sing about Jesus?
Why is He precious to me?
He is my lord and my Savior;
Dying, He set me free.
