1 He's done so much for me,
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all.
He's done so much for me,
I cannot tell it all.
I cannot tell it all.

2 He washed my sins away;
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all.
He washed my sins away;
I cannot tell it all.
I cannot tell it all.

3 He walks and talks with me;
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all.
He walks and talks with me;
I cannot tell it all.
I cannot tell it all.

4 He gave me victory;
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all,
I cannot tell it all.
He gave me victory;
I cannot tell it all.
I cannot tell it all.
