lyrics

When you know a pretty story
You don't let it go unsaid
You tell it to your children
As you tuck them into bed
And when you know a wonderful secret
You tell it to your friends
Tell them that a lifetime filled with Jesus
Is like a street that never ends

You sing that sweet sweet song of salvation
And let your laughter fill the air
Sing that sweet sweet song of salvation
And tell the people everywhere
You got to sing that sweet sweet song of salvation
To every man and every nation
Sing that sweet sweet song of salvation
And let the people know that Jesus cares

Ba-bam
Bam ba-dam

​Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
​Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na yeah
Ye-eh-yeah

Take a look around you as you sing it
There are people everywhere
And to those who stop to listen
Your sweet song becomes their prayer
So if you know a wonderful secret
Tell it to your friends
Tell them that a lifetime filled with Jesus
Is like a street that never ends

Alright it's your turn, it's your turn, it's your turn, it's your turn
Sing that sweet sweet song of salvation
And let your laughter fill the air
Sing that sweet (sweet song of salvation)
And tell the people everywhere
You got to sing that (sweet sweet song of salvation)
To every man and every nation

And that's really good, I, yeah maybe we can make, put this on the record tonight huh. I'll stop this, this eh song and eh, um. A lot of people think I'm not a christian over in America, because they have heard my albums. And uh. Uh and this is a song they used to sing in church, before they found out that I wrote it [Spoken]

When you know a pretty story
You don't let it go unsaid
You tell it to your children
As you tuck them into bed
So if you know a wonderful secret
You tell it to your friends

Is like a street that never ends
Ay-eh ay yeah, yeah
