when you know a pretty story
you don't let it go unsaid
you tell it to all of your children

as you tuck them into bed.
when you know a wonderful secret
you gotta tell it to all of your friends

tell 'em that 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 song of salvation
tell every man in every nation

to sing that sweet, sweet song of salvation
and let the people know that jesus cares.


well, look around you
as you're singin'
there are people everywhere

and to those who stop and listen
that sweet song becomes a prayer.
when you know a wonderful secret

you gotta tell it to all of your friends
tell 'em 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 song of salvation

tell every man in every nation
to sing that sweet, sweet song of salvation
and let the people know that jesus cares.
