There is nothing sweeter on the earth than a song lifted up in praise

Sing Your Song

 

There is nothing sweeter on the earth

Than a song lifted up in praise

Thereís nothing sadder than the chorus

That remains unraised

For songs are given to be sungÝ

Else theyíre no song at all

The message that is undeclared

Is lost beyond recall.

 

So sing your song

Sing out loud and strong

Oh to bear such a terrible cost

If more than the song is lost

So sing your song

I will sing along

For silence shall give way to praise

When a song is raised

 

Let the singer sing of Faith

Thatís born when Truthís declared.

The song within your soul will pass

If it is never shared

Music must rise from your heart

To fall upon menís ears

If the singer remains silent

There will be no song to hear.

 

So sing your song

Sing out loud and strong

Oh to bear such a terrible cost

If more than the song is lost

So sing your song

I will sing along

For silence shall give way to praise

When a song is raised.
