SOME PEOPLE ASK ME
WHY I'M SO HAPPY
EVEN WHEN SORROWS
PRESS ON
THEY SEE ME LAUGHING
WHILE THE STORM'S
RAGING
THEY WONDER
WHERE I GET MY SONG
THEY CANNOT SEE
THE TROUBLE I FACED
NOT SO VERY LONG AGO
TO COMPREHEND
THIS JOY THAT'S WITHIN
THERE'S SOMETHING
THAT THEY NEED
TO KNOW
I'VE BEEN SAVED
FROM THE FLAMES
OF A HOT BURNING FIRE
LIFTED FROM THE TEMPEST
AS THE WAVES
GREW HIGHER
SHELTERED
FROM THE DESERT
DUSTY AND DRY
I WAS GIVEN
A DRINK OF WATER
WHEN I THOUGHT
I WOULD DIE
DELIVERED
FROM THE DANGER
OF A DARK LION'S DEN
GIVEN NEW LIFE
IN EXCHANGE FOR MY SIN
SET FREE
FORGIVEN
I'VE BEEN BORN AGAIN
MY BROTHER
I HAVE BEEN RESCUED
I USED TO FEEL
TROUBLED
MY SORROWS
WERE DOUBLED
AS THE BURDENS OF LIFE
HELD ME DOWN
I WAS DEFEATED
'TIL I SAW
WHAT I NEEDED
THEN HIS TENDER MERCY
I FOUND
AND THOUGH
LIFE IS ROUGH
I'M NOT GIVING UP
EVEN WHEN I'M TESTED
AND TRIED
I'LL NOT WASTE TIME
DOUBTING
I'LL GO ON 'A SHOUTING
I'VE CROSSED TO THE
WINNING SIDE
I'VE BEEN SAVED
FROM THE FLAMES
OF A HOT BURNING FIRE
LIFTED FROM THE TEMPEST
AS THE WAVES
GREW HIGHER
SHELTERED
FROM A DESERT
DUSTY AND DRY
I WAS GIVEN
A DRINK OF WATER
WHEN I THOUGHT
I WOULD DIE
DELIVERED
FROM THE DANGER
OF A DARK LION'S DEN
GIVEN NEW LIFE
IN EXCHANGE FOR MY SIN
SET FREE
FORGIVEN
I'VE BEEN BORN AGAIN
MY BROTHER
I HAVE BEEN RESCUED
I'VE BEEN SAVED
FROM THE FLAMES
OF A HOT BURNING FIRE
LIFTED FROM THE TEMPEST
AS THE WAVES
GREW HIGHER
SHELTERED
FROM A DESERT
DUSTY AND DRY
I WAS GIVEN
A DRINK OF WATER
WHEN I THOUGHT
I WOULD DIE
DELIVERED
FROM THE DANGER
OF A DARK LION'S DEN
GIVEN NEW LIFE
IN EXCHANGE FOR MY SIN
SET FREE FORGIVEN
I'VE BEEN BORN AGAIN
MY BROTHER
I HAVE BEEN RESCUED
SET FREE
FORGIVEN
I'VE BEEN BORN AGAIN
I HAVE BEEN RESCUED
