Once upon a time there was a volcano
Bursting lava of anger and bitterness
No laughter, peace or happiness
As darkness fell across the land
And the midnight hour was close at hand
With a heart of stone, I cried myself to sleep at night
Filled with shame and remorse
But there's a King who can draw me closer
To all good things that come to those who wait
Chorus:
When my life is filled with gloom
You put His shining light in my life
And make me prove my heart is glad and my soul rejoices
In each situation I find something pleasant
And keep my mind open
To new divine ideas that prosper and bless my life
‘Cause you fill my life
With rewarding joy in your sweet presence
I can tell you the miracle story of Jesus' birth
That happened on Christmas day
Oh, how I live to see the day
When I can sing my heart out to God, in praise of His holy name
Proclaim all His wondrous deeds
And let the heavens that declare
The glory of God be glad and the earth rejoice
And show the righteousness of the Lord and wonders of His love
Repeat Chorus
