There's a New Song In my Heart
By John W. Peterson
Lyrics
For my heart was heavy laden with a weight of sin.
There's a new song in my heart since the Savior set me free
There's a new song in my heart 'tis a heav'nly harmony
All my sins are washed away in the blood of Calvary
O what peace and joy nothing can destroy
There's a new song in my heart.
When I trusted Christ my Savior and His pardon sought.
And I'll join their happy chorus praising Christ the King.
For the wonderful salvation that He did accord.
Bible Reference
Psalm 40:3
