Since You Gave Me A Song lyrics - New Hinsons

(Verse 1)
You gave me a song to sing
And now I'm gonna make it ring for you Lord
For you to see
Given the words to say,
I know that I could clear the way for you to use me
I know that I am not the greatest singer..
That has ever come along
But if you let me take the test
I know that I will do my best And I know that I can make it
Since you gave me a song

(chorus)
You gave me a song to sing for you Lord
When the world comes crashin in
You gave me a song to sing to lift your name
And triumph over sin
You gave me a song to sing for you Lord
That will keep me travelin on
And I know Lord Jesus the Devil can't defeat me
Since you gave me a song


(verse 2) (2nd part echoes the melody)
Without a song to sing
I didn't have anything to lean on
Didn't fall on me (me)
As a lonely man I would sit and cry
I finally gave up and wanted to die (both parts together now)
But then you saved me
And to this day, I can't believe it
Lord you looked right through my wrong
And then dear Lord you heard my plea
Gave to me the sweetest melody
And I know that I can make it
Since you gave me a song

(repeat chorus)
