My Song by John W. Peterson
I would like all of the lyrics to this particular song cause it is so beautiful and Merrill Womach used to sing it from his album "Merrill Womach the one man chorus" So if you would, could you please give me the whole song verses chorus, etc. Thank you so much and God bless you and I would love to sing this song someday in church as a solo.

My Song by John W. Peterson
Is this the song?
O Glorious Love!
In my darkness Jesus found me,
Touched my eyes and made me see.
Broke sin's chains that long had bound me.
Gave me life and liberty.
Chorus:
O Glorious Love of Christ my Lord Divine.
That made Him stoop to save a soul like mine.
Through all my days and then in heaven above,
My song will silence never,
I'll worship Him forever,
And praise Him for His Glorious Love!
Oh amazing Truth to ponder,
He whom angel hosts attend.
Lord of Heaven, God's Son what Wonder!
He became the sinner's friend.

My Song by John W. Peterson
My Song - words & music by J W Petereson
(key Eb, verse 2/4 time, chorus 4/4 time)
Verse 1
Why should I sing of lesser things and things that pass away
When I've a friend like Jesus now to sing about each day.
Chorus
I have no song to sing but that of Christ my King
To Him my praise I'll bring for ever more
His love beyond degree, His death that ransomed me
Now and eternally I'll sing it o'er.
I find no more delight in other songs
My melody of love to Christ belongs
I have no song to sing but that of Christ my King
To Him my praise I'll bring for ever more
Verse 2
He is the them of angel song that fills the heaven's above
Should I not join their chorus sweet and praise the Lord I love.
