Lyrics
(Verse 1)
When God dips His pen of love in my heart, He writes my soul a message that He wants me to know. Spirit oh divine, fill this very soul of mine. When God dips His love in my heart
(Verse 2)
Sometimes, though my way, get dreary, dark and cold; but some how burdened sorrow keeps me from my goal; but I go to God in prayer; because I can always find Him there to whisper sweet releif to my soul.
(Verse3)
Well! I said I wouldn't tell it to a living soul;
How He brought salvation and made me whole. I find I couldn't hide this love of Jesus in my heart. Well it makes me laugh and It makes me cry and it sets my very soul on fire when God dips his love in my heart.
(Verse4)
Sometimes, though my way, it gets so dreary, dark and cold. But some unburdened, sorrow keeps me from my goals. But I can just go to God in prayer. I know, I can find Him there to whisper Hey, hey, hey, hey sweet peace to my soul.
(Chorus)
Well! I said I wouldn't tell it to a living soul;
How He brought salvation and he made me whole. But I found I couldn't hide such a love as Jesus did impart. Well it makes me laugh and It makes me. Cry sets my sinful soul on fire when God dips his love in my heart.
(Chorus)
When God dips his love...
When God dips his love...
When God dips his love in my heart.

Meaning & Inspiration
“When God Dips His Love in My Heart” uses the image of divine writing to describe an inward experience of grace. God’s love becomes a message placed upon the soul, and the prayer for the Spirit to fill that soul links assurance with God’s presence. Even when the path is described as dark, cold, and burdened by sorrow, prayer remains the place where comfort and peace are found.
The song also portrays salvation as news too joyful to conceal. Its narrator first resolves not to tell anyone, yet the love of Jesus produces laughter, tears, and a burning desire to speak. That reversal recalls biblical accounts in which an encounter with God cannot remain private. The lyric’s emotional language does not deny hardship; instead, it places sorrow beside prayer, relief, salvation, and renewed witness. Repetition of the title phrase reinforces the governing image of love entering the inner life and transforming expression.
