[Chorus]
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long
[Verse 2]
Perfect submission, perfect delight
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love
[Chorus]
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long
[Verse 3]
Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Saviour am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
I'm filled with God's goodness, I'm lost in his love
[Chorus]
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
'Tis praising my Saviour all the day long
