271. Why Do I Sing About Jesus?

1 Deep in my heart there's a gladness,
Jesus has saved me from sin!
Praise to His name--what a Savior!
Cleansing without and within!

Chorus:
Why do I sing about Jesus?
Why is He precious to me?
He is my Lord and my Savior,
Dying! He set me free!

2 Only a glimpse of His goodness,
That was sufficient for me;
Only one look at the Savior,
Then was my spirit set free. (Chorus)

3 He is the fairest of fair ones,
He is the Lily, the Rose;
Rivers of mercy surround Him,
Grace, love, and pity He shows. (Chorus)
