I Have A Song

When the world is up against me,
When it seems I've lost it all,
and my back's against the wall...

When my heart's gone dry and empty,
When the life that I had planned
is slipping through my hands,

I hear sweet music rise above it all.
And when it seemed my hope had ended,
I was wrong...

I have a song,
And I'm singing to my Savior,
Singing to the One who set me free.

I have a song,
And my heart will ever praise him.
This world can never take this joy from me.

When all else is gone,
I have a song.

When I cannot see tomorrow,
When the questions flood my mind,
looking back on wasted time...

When my soul is full of sorrow,
and when the pain won't go away
and such brokenness remains,

I join the music
rising far above it all -
it's an anthem to my True and Faithful God.

I have a song,
and I'm singing to my Savior.
Singing to the One who set me free.
I have a song,
and my heart will ever praise Him.

This world can never take this joy from me.
When all else is gone,
I have a song.

And I sing because I'm happy.
Oh, yes, I sing because I'm free...
For his eye is on the sparrow,
and I know - I know - he watches me.

I have a song.
And I'm singing to my Savior,
singing to the One who set me free.

I have a song,
And my heart will ever praise him.
This world can never take this joy from me.

When all else is gone,
I have a song.

~ Shannon Wexelberg, "I Have A Song"
