I sing my songs to Jesus.  Love songs just for Him
He purchased my salvation, so to Him my praise I bring
Songs of joy and gladness are in my heart today
He leads me by His truth and daily lights my way

I love the book of hymns that were written long ago
Amazing Grace, He’s Alive, It is Well With My Soul
I also like the new music so abundant out today
There’s a rising up in worship that I hope won’t go away

But more than anything I love the songs he gives to me
In middle of the night He opens up my eyes to sing
I sit down very calmly and he gives me every word
Then I put the rhythm to it, and His story is now heard

I’ll give you some examples of the words to these new songs
The melody you’ll have to guess, as a video I don’t have
I hope these words will touch your lives as they have touched mine
If nothing else I hope your blessed by the nice poetic rhyme

Song #1  I Want to Thank You Lord

I want to thank you, Lord, for your mercy in my life
I want to thank you Lord, for your great sacrifice
You have given me your all
Help me give my all to you
I want to thank you, Lord  (This part is sung three times)

You deserve the highest praise
You deserve the highest praise
You deserve the highest praise
My heart can give (This part is sung twice, then close with the first part)

Song #2  We Lift You Up

(softly and soulfully)
As we come into your presence
And we turn our hearts to you
We out aside our care if earthly things
We have come to seek your kingdom
And we long for righteousness
Precious Lord, we want to glorify your name

We lift you up, we lift you up
We lift you up, Oh Lord, and praise your holy name
We lift you up, we lift you up
Come and draw us near to you, we lift you up (back to top first time through)

(with much enthusiasm)
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lord
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lord (Back to we lift you up, with gusto!)

There’s a few examples of the songs He’s given me
There are hundreds more He’s blessed me with
I hope He never stops waking me in dead of night
To share with me these love songs I can give
