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 Because a lifetime filled with happiness Is like a street that never ends 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 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 Look around you as you sing it There are people everywhere And to those who stop and listen This sweet song becomes a prayer Cause 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 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 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
