(W.S. Stevenson - Cleavant Derricks)

(When God dips his love in my heart.)

When God dips his pen of love into my heart
And writes my soul a message he wants me to know
His spirit all divine fills this sinful soul of mine
When God dips his love in my heart.

Well, I said I wouldn't tell it to a living soul
How he brought salvation when he made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such love as Jesus did impart
Well it makes me laugh it makes me cry it sets my sinful soul on fire
When God dips his love in my heart.

Sometimes though the way is dreary dark and cold
And some unburdened sorrow keeps me from the goal
I go to God in prayer I can always find him there
To whisper sweet peace to my soul.

Well, I said I wouldn't tell it to a living soul
How he brought salvation when he made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such love as Jesus did impart
Well it makes me laugh it makes me cry it sets my sinful soul on fire
When God dips his love in my heart.
