If My Tongue Were a Pen

If my tongue were a pen—
the pen of a ready writer—
I would write of the love
that came from above,
of the love of my Lord
growing sweeter and brighter;
I would write of the love of God.
I would write of my sin
to my sorrow and shame;
I would write of His grace,
praise His wonderful name!
If my tongue were a pen—
the pen of a ready writer—
I would write of the love of God!
