God Gave the Song

I believe, I believe

What a powerful statement

For thousands of years

People have staked their very lives on this belief

That Jesus Christ is real

Why?

Because it is this belief that gave their life meaning

And today it's the same

Jesus Christ in a life does make a difference

He's a source of a meaningful and purposeful life

Where there's dissonance, He makes music

Yeah, He's the source of music

You ask me why my heart keeps singing

Why I can sing when things go wrong

But since I found the source of music

I just can't help it

God gave the song

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

For since I found the source of music

I just can't help it

God gave the song

Come walk with me through fields and forests

We'll climb the hills

And we'll still hear that song

For even hills, they resound with music

They just can't help it

God gave the song

Yes, God gave the song

It's always been with us

The song came into our world through a manger

A manger in Bethlehem

It was a simple song

A simple, lovely song for every man

Right from the first, some tried to ignore it

They said, "There's no song

It simply doesn't exist"

Others just tried to change the tune

They made laws to stop it

Armies marched against it

They killed some who sang the song

They screamed at it in fury

They tried to drown it out

Finally, they nailed that song to a tree

They said to themselves, "There, that should take care of that"

But it didn't

What's that I hear?

I still hear that music

Day after day, that song goes on

For once you know the source of music

You'll always hear it

God gave the song

Come on and join (Come on and join)

It's the song about my Jesus (It's the song about Jesus)

Day after day, that song goes on

For once you know the source of music

Then you'll always hear it

God gave the song

For since I found the source of music

I just can't help it

God gave the song

Ooh
