I
THE WORLD WAS THIS WAY BEFORE I CAME LONG
AND IT MAY NOT GET BETTER BY THE TIME THAT I'M GONE.
BUT IF I HAVE A PART WHILE I'M PASSING THROUGH
HELP ME SMILE FROM MY HEART LORD AND SING ABOUT YOU.
II
I'VE TASTED SOME TEARDROPS A LITTLE HEARTACHE AND PAIN.
AND I'VE REACHED FOR RAINBOWS BUT ONLY IN VAIN.
LIFE WAS SO EMPTY SO LONELY AND BLUE
TILL YOU GAVE ME A SONG LORD TO SING ABOUT YOU.
CHORUS
CAUSE I LOVE YOU JESUS AND I LOVE YOUR NAME
AND A LONG TIME AGO I'M GLAD YOU CAME.
LET OTHERS GO ON DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO
BUT IT MAKES ME HAPPY LORD TO SING ABOUT YOU.
