The Singers

I have met a lot of singers in my time,
and I've learned a thing or two as they've passed by;
Though they have talents that can garner them acclaim,
the ones who thrill my heart are those
who sing in Jesus' Name.

A song without the Spirit is just words;
a tune without His melody, absurd;
and all that I desire as I sing my song
is to glorify my Savior all day long!

There are those who stand and sing the world's songs,
and reach for stardom as they travel on;
But after tasting all that this old world has to pay,
they will never know contentment
'till they bow the knee and say:

A song without the Spirit is just words;
A tune without His melody, absurd;
and all that I desire as I sing my song
is to glorify my Savior all day long!

Refiner's fire brings forth the purest gold,
and God tests every Christian in his soul;
God's melody is burned within the heart that's sorely tried,
and ever will he sing God's song which cannot be denied:

A song without the Spirit is just words;
A tune without His melody, absurd;
and all that I desire as I sing my song
is to glorify my Savior all day long!

"SING FOR JOY to God our strength;
Shout aloud to the God of Jacob!"
