Lyrics
Verse 1
There is no failure found in my Savior
I've seen the works of Your hands
I know it's perfect
Verse 2
Grace beyond measure
Love that's unending
These are the works of your hands
I love how you do things
Chorus
Great is Your faithfulness
New are Your mercies
Oh how steadfast Your love
I love to sing about it
Bridge
You gave me joy for mourning
Now hope is my testimony
The grave I was in You emptied
I can't help but sing it

Meaning & Inspiration
Maverick City Music's powerful song, "I Love To Sing About It," featuring Cecily, arrived on September 15, 2021, released through TRIBL, instantly resonating with many who have experienced the transformative power of faith. The piece isn't just a song; it’s a declaration, a joyful outpouring stemming from a deep, personal relationship with God and the profound work He has done in the lives of those singing. It speaks to that undeniable, intrinsic need to voice the goodness, grace, and faithfulness of the Creator, acknowledging that some experiences of salvation and redemption are simply too grand, too life-altering, to be kept silent.
The core message captured here is one rooted in divine compulsion and gratitude. It expresses the reality that when you've seen God move, when you've felt His presence and experienced His love, praise becomes an involuntary response. It's not merely an obligation but a wellspring of joy bubbling up. This mirrors the sentiment found throughout the Psalms, where King David, after being delivered from his troubles, declared that the Lord had put a "new song" in his mouth, a hymn of praise to God, so that many would see and fear the Lord and put their trust in Him (Psalm 40:3). The song encapsulates this new reality—the darkness lifted, the chains broken—and the natural consequence is a desire to sing about it, to testify to His saving power.
Musically, "I Love To Sing About It" embodies much of what has made Maverick City Music connect with so many; it possesses an organic, authentic feel, often reminiscent of corporate worship moments where the Spirit is moving freely. Cecily's vocal contribution adds a distinct layer, bringing a soulful depth that elevates the message. The arrangement typically builds, reflecting the growing intensity of the conviction being expressed—the more you reflect on what God has done, the more compelled you are to sing His praises. It reminds us of the scriptural call in Ephesians 5:19, encouraging believers to address one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in their hearts to the Lord. This song serves as both an example of and an invitation to such heartfelt, community-oriented worship.
Beyond the musical execution, the song’s strength lies in its unapologetic focus on the object of its praise: God Himself. It’s not about the singers, but about what He has done. This aligns perfectly with the biblical mandate to make His deeds known among the peoples (Psalm 105:1). The song champions the idea that our praise is a direct response to His actions—His love, His deliverance, His constant presence. It encourages anyone who hears it to consider their own experience with God and find their own voice to express that gratitude, understanding that singing about His faithfulness is not just a spiritual discipline but a joyful privilege. Like Psalm 96:1 commands, "Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth!" "I Love To Sing About It" is a modern echo of this ancient call, reminding us that our lives are a testament, and sometimes, the most natural and powerful way to share that testament is through song.
