From the dawning of all creation The heavens resounded in song The angels cried holy, holy, holy In harmony around the great white Throne But then Adam fell in the garden Old Satan thought He'd won the victory Then Jesus came all the way from glory Just to give us a reason to sing
Sing hallelujah He's the joy of my salvation Hallelujah, glory to the Holy One Hallelujah, every tongue and Every nation My God gives His children a song God gives His children a song
In a dark and a cavernous prison There's no place to hide or to run Paul and Silas were jailed without reason See no evil deeds these men had done Yet they lifted their voices in praises The chains that they wore came undone For God sent a strong and mighty shaking There's victory when you sing a song
When you're burdened and Filled up with sadness You're longing to find sweet relief Just remember there's power in our praises Every devil in hell's got to flee
