JESUS I COULD SING
In the tongues of men and angels
But if I have not love
I am just a clanging cymbal, an empty sound
This is a love song
This is a love song
Jesus, a love song to You
A song of devotion, a reverent passion
Saviour, a love song to You
Jesus, I could pray
With a faith that moves a mountain
But if I have not love
It is a just a noise resounding, an empty sound
It’s the overflow of hearts
As we gaze upon your beauty
A reflection of your worth
For we’ve seen a glimpse of You in Your glory Lord
Matt Redman
