He gave me a new song
He really came down here Himself and sang it for me
In every key
Just for me
He gave me a new light,
Now even when clouds hide the sun my life is still bright
'Cause everything's alright
He gave me a new song
He really came down here Himself and sang it for me
In every key
Just for me
He gave me a love song
Yes it's the first real love song given to me
And oh, what a melody
