Lyrics God Gives His Children a Song - Alvin Slaughter

From the dawning of all creation
The heavens resounded in song
The angels cried holy, holy, holy
In harmony around the great white Throne
But then Adam fell in the garden
Old Satan thought He'd won the victory
Then Jesus came all the way from glory
Just to give us a reason to sing

Sing hallelujah
He's the joy of my salvation
Hallelujah, glory to the Holy One
Hallelujah, every tongue and
Every nation
My God gives His children a song
God gives His children a song

In a dark and a cavernous prison
There's no place to hide or to run
Paul and Silas were jailed without reason
See no evil deeds these men had done
Yet they lifted their voices in praises
The chains that they wore came undone
For God sent a strong and mighty shaking
There's victory when you sing a song

When you're burdened and
Filled up with sadness
You're longing to find sweet relief
Just remember there's power in our praises
Every devil in hell's got to flee

I'm singing, I'm singing
Singing, I'm singing
Singing, I'm singing
Singing, I'm singing

I'm shouting, I'm shouting
Shouting, I'm shouting
I'm shouting, I'm shouting
I'm shouting, I'm shouting

I'm dancing, I'm dancing
Dancing, I'm dancing
Dancing, I'm dancing
Dancing, I'm dancing

God gives His children a song

I'm singing

I'm shouting

I'm dancing

God gives His children a song
