When god dips his pen of love in my heart
And writes my soul a message, he wants me to know
His spirit all divine fills this sinful soul of mine
When god dips his love in my heart

Well, I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How he brought salvation when he made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such love as Jesus did impart
Well, it makes me laugh, it makes me cry
It sets my sinful soul on fire
When god dips his love in my heart

Sometimes though the way is dreary dark and cold
And some unburdened sorrow keeps me from the goal
I go to god in prayer, I can always find him there
He whispers sweet peace to my soul

Well, I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How he brought salvation when he made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such love as Jesus did impart
Well, it makes me laugh, it makes me cry
It sets my sinful soul on fire, alleluia
When god dips his love in my heart

Well, I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How he brought salvation when he made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such love as Jesus did impart
Well, it makes you laugh, it makes me cry
Sets my sinful soul on fire, alleluia
When god dips his love in my heart
