When God Dips His Pen Of Love In My Heart

Alison Krauss

When God dips His pen of love in my heart

And He writes my soul a message He wants me to know

His spirit all divine fills a sinful soul of mine

When God dips His love in my heart



Well I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' 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 He made me laugh and He made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire

When God dips His love in my heart



Well 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 livin' 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 He made me laugh and He made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire

When God dips His love in my heart



He walked up every step of Calvary's rugged way

And gave His life completely to bring a better day

My life was steeped in sin but in love He took me in

His blood washed away every stain



I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul

How He brought salvation and He made me whole

But I found I couldn't hide such a love as Jesus did impart

He made me laugh and He made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire

When God dips His love in my heart
