Oh that He gave me a song, A melody to carry me along. A hymn in the night, a tune for the fight, a lyric that will keep me strong. I can hum when I don't know the words; I'll rock when I'm feeling disturbed. In harmony or alone - singing it right or sometimes wrong, I thank God that He gave me a song! (c) Sylvia Rose 2020
