I Told Him I Would Sing

[Verse 1]
I asked the Lord
Would he let me carry his word
And he answered unto me
"What would you do, if I let you be heard?"

[Chorus]
I told him (I said I'd sing)
To the glory of God
(I told him I would sing)
That would be my only job
(I told him I would sing)
I told him I would sing
Oh, how... (oh, how I'd sing)
To the poor with no food on the plate
(I told him I would sing)
About how the mighty and the great
(I told him I would sing)
I told him I'd sing
Told him I'd sing... for him

[Verse 2]
I asked the Lord
Would he anoint my voice
Told him the great story I'd tell
Told him I'd sing until his power fell
Then I told him... (I said I'd sing)

[Chorus]
To every boy and girl
(I told him I would sing)
In every corner of the world
(I told him I would sing)
I told him, told him I'd sing
Oh, how... (oh, how I'd sing)
To men and women on the street
(I told him I would sing)
I'd tell that Jesus makes the life complete
(I told him I would sing)
I told him I'd sing
Oh, how... (oh, how I'd sing)
To the rich men wearing silk
(I told him I would sing)
The tiny babies without any milk
(I told him I would sing)
I, I... I told him oh, how... (oh, how I'd sing)
In the season, out of season
(I told him I would sing)
So alone, so it'll always be the reason
(I told him I would sing)
I told him, I told him, I told him
I told him I would sing (oh, how I'd sing)
Let me, let me, let me, let me sing
(I told him I would sing)
Told him I would sing, oh, oh...
(I told him I would sing)
Told him I'd sing
Oh, how I'd sing! (oh, how I'd sing)
