Lyrics

[Verse]
Why should I wait
For you to sing to my soul
When I ought
To sing to yours?
[Break]
I want Your attention
I want Your love
I want to feel Your healing power

[Chorus]
It is little effort
To speak in holy tongues
Or to fix my eyes on You
To remember Your nature
And your good works
So why, dear soul,
Do you wait for a song?

[Verse]
Sing to the Lord
To Him who is so worthy
And adorned
With many crowns
[Break]
He should have attention
He desires love
Ascribe greatness to His throne on high

[Chorus]
It is little effort
To speak in holy tongues
Or to fix my eyes on You
To remember Your nature
And your good works
So why, dear soul,
Do you wait for a song?

[Verse]
Let a sound ring
Forth to a mighty savior,
A pattern
Arise in song
[Break]
That paints the portrait
A worthy king
Melodies of truth show His beauty

[Chorus]
It is little effort
To speak in holy tongues
Or to fix my eyes on You
To remember Your nature
And your good works
So why, dear soul,
Do you wait for a song?

[Outro]
Bless and Praise
His just, and holy ways
Let His song be sung
With harmonies winsome
Oh heart open up, oh mouth cry out
Soul, just begin to sing!
