Singing All the Time

Representative Text

1 My heart is singing all the time,
I cannot fear, I cannot doubt,
For Jesus is a Friend of mine,
And fills my life within, without;
Oh, how happy are the moments as I call upon His name,
And how blessed are the promises which in His book I claim.
My heart is singing, singing all the time,
For Jesus is a Friend of mine.

Chorus:
My heart is singing, singing all the time,
Is singing all the time;
My faith in Him is staid,
And, because I’m not afraid,
My heart is singing, singing all the time.

2 My heart is singing all the time,
Let come what may, ‘tis but His will,
For Jesus is a Friend of mine,
And cares for me through good or ill;
Oh, how sweet it is to trust Him—just to lean upon His arm,
For He’s patient, loving, tender, and will shield me from all harm.
My heart is singing, singing all the time,
For Jesus is a Friend of mine. [Chorus]

3 My heart is singing all the time,
Tho' struggling here, my home’s above,
For Jesus is a Friend of mine,
And all is giv’n to Him I love;
Oh, this world is dark and gloomy in the light of Calvary,
And its joys have lost their sweetness since the light shone into me.
My heart is singing, singing all the time,
For Jesus is a Friend of mine. [Chorus]
