1 Would you know why I am singing,
Singing the whole day long?
'Tis because Jesus, my Saviour,
Filleth my heart with song.

Chorus:
This is just why I am singing,
This is just why I am singing;
'Tis because Jesus, my Saviour,
Filleth my heart with song.

2 Sometimes a shadow of sadness
Over my life doth fall;
Still in my spirit I'm singing;
Jesus is all in all. [Chorus]

3 Sometimes a flood of temptation
Over my path doth roll;
Still I keep praying and singing;
Jesus will keep my soul. [Chorus]

4 Whether in sunshine or shadow,
Jesus my song shall be;
Should I one moment cease singing,
That would be loss to me. [Chorus]
