THE SECRET

IF GOD TOLD ME A SECRET
I KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO.
I WOULD GO TELL EVERYONE
ABOUT HIS LOVE SO TRUE.

HOW HE LOVES EACH PRECIOUS FACE
EACH TWINKLE IN EACH EYE.
HOW JUST THE SWEET SOUNDS FROM EACH MOUTH
LIFTS HIS SPIRITS HIGH.

HOW HE WATCHES ALL THE DAY
IN EACH AND EVERY LIFE.
AND HOW HE HOPES OUR FAITH IS STRONG
TO WEAKEN ALL OUR STRIFE.

HOW HE PLANS FOR US SO DEAR
A SAFE PLACE DOWN THE ROAD.
WHERE LIFE WILL SOON BE BEARABLE
'CAUSE HE'S LIGHTENED EVERY LOAD.

SO IF YOU HEAR THIS SECRET
DON'T DO LIKE SOME MIGHT DO.
GO SHOUT IT FROM THE HILLTOPS
DON'T MISS ONE EAR OR TWO.

HIS LOVE WILL BRING YOU HAPPINESS
YOU NEED ONLY TO BELIEVE.
HE'LL BE WITH YOU EACH AND EVERYDAY
THROUGH ALL ETERNITY.
