Legacy Five - I Always Have A Song To Sing Lyrics
Lyrics
Vs 1
A little rain may fall and the lighting strike
The waves may toss me to and fro
A walk across the valley a climb up the mountain
May wear me out and take its toll
But by the grace of God every step I trod
He is my joy in everything
That's the reason that is why
I always have a song to sing
Chorus
I always have a song to sing (Always have a song to sing)
Composed by Jesus Christ my King (written by the King of Kings)
Amazing grace plays the melody (His grace plays the sweetest melody)
Loves a tapping making my heart beat
I can smile mile after mile (I can smile yes mile after mile)
No matter what this life may bring (Life may bring)
He is my reason He is why
I always have a song to sing (song to sing)
Vs 2
Ole' Satan he will come and try to steal away
Salvation's song in me and you
Sometimes he may be subtle other times full blast
And try to make us sing the blues
But we are overcomers through the blood of Christ
What happiness his mercy brings
That's the reason that is why
We always have a song to sing

I Always Have a Song to Sing
Meaning & Inspiration
"I Always Have A Song To Sing," released in 2020 on the album *Give the World a Smile*, is a powerful testament to the enduring joy found in faith, even amidst life's inevitable challenges. The song's message centers on the unwavering presence of God as the source of strength and the inspiration behind a perpetual song of praise. The opening verse acknowledges the storms of life, referencing "a little rain may fall and the lighting strike" and the arduous journeys of life as "a walk across the valley a climb up the mountain." These trials, while potentially wearying, are met with the declaration that "by the grace of God every step I trod, He is my joy in everything." This resonates deeply with the biblical promise in Psalm 23:4, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." The song posits that it is this divine companionship and provision that fuels the persistent, unyielding song within.
The chorus elaborates on this profound truth, declaring, "I always have a song to sing, composed by Jesus Christ my King." This is not a song of human origin or effort, but one divinely orchestrated by Christ Himself. The melody is described as "amazing grace," directly referencing the transformative power of God's unmerited favor, echoing Isaac Watts' immortal hymn. The rhythm is "love," the very essence of God, which "mak[es] my heart beat." This love inspires a resilience that allows one to "smile mile after mile, no matter what this life may bring." This enduring cheerfulness in the face of adversity finds its scriptural parallel in Philippians 4:4: "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice." The song firmly anchors this ability to rejoice not in circumstances, but in the unchanging nature of God – "He is my reason He is why."
The second verse confronts the spiritual warfare believers face, personifying the adversary as "Ole' Satan" who "will come and try to steal away, Salvation's song." The tactics of this enemy are varied, ranging from subtle whispers to overt assaults, all aimed at inducing a state of despair, to "make us sing the blues." However, the song offers a triumphant counter-narrative: "But we are overcomers through the blood of Christ." This declaration directly aligns with Revelation 12:11, "They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." The profound happiness derived from Christ's mercy is the ultimate antidote to the enemy's attempts to silence praise. The recurring refrain, "That's the reason that is why, we always have a song to sing," serves as a powerful reminder that this song is not conditional but a guaranteed inheritance for those who belong to Christ, a constant anthem of victory and grace that transcends all earthly tribulation.
