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!  

Refrain:  
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. [Refrain]  

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. [Refrain]
