Lyrics:

It only takes a spark to get a fire going
And soon all those around can warm up to its glowing That's how it is with God's love Once you've experienced it You spread God's love to everyone You want to pass it on What a wondrous time is spring when all the trees are budding The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming That's how it is with God's love Once you've experienced it You want to sing, it's fresh like spring You want to pass it on I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I've found On God you can depend, it matters not where you're bound I'll shout it from the mountain tops I want the world to know The Lord of love has come to me I want to pass it on Note that some youTube performers end this gospel song by repeating, after verse 3, the final 4 lines of 1st verse. |
