Sweet Jesus has given me a song in my heart,

I just want to sing and praise Him all day!

Sweet Jesus has given me a song in my heart,

Join with me and follow Him in song and in praise.

Sweet Jesus has given me real Love in my life,

I just want to share His Love and praise Him all day!

Sweet Jesus has given me real Love in my life,

Join with me and follow Him in Love and in praise.

(refrain)

And now, when I awaken each day the sun will shine.

I feel a new beginning, I’m so glad to be alive!

I see the Light before me, like a beacon on a distant shore.

I need not fear the darkness anymore!

Sweet Jesus has given me such Good News to share,

I just want to share His Truth and praise Him all day!

Sweet Jesus has given me such Good News to share,

Join with me and follow Him in Truth and in praise.

Sweet Jesus has given me forgiveness of sin,

I just want to thank the Lord and praise him all day!

Sweet Jesus has given me forgiveness of sin,

Join with me and follow Him in Grace and in praise!

And now, when I awaken each day the Son will Shine!

I feel a new beginning, I’m so glad just to be alive!

I see The Light before me, like a beacon on a distant shore.

I need not fear this darkness anymore!

Sweet Jesus has given me a song in my heart!

Sweet Jesus has given me real Love in my life!

Sweet Jesus has given me such Good News to share!
