The Same Sweet Song

(1) I heard a lot of good stories in all my life

From Shakespeare to Mother Goose,

But all the ones I ever heard

They never set me loose.

Then I heard about Jesus, how he lived and he died

So that I could be set free.

I can't get enough of that good, good gospel.

Won't you sing it again for me?

And I like to hear it over and over again.

It's the same sweet song over and over,

And I like to hear it over and over again.

(2) I can sit in a tent from sun up to sun down

And listen to the preacher talk.

I can hear the words of Jesus,

Trace the steps that he walked.

And I can read it in the Bible a thousand times,

And I don't ever lose a thrill

'Cause I loved him since the day I got born again,

And I guess I always will.
