1 Now my heart is o'erflowing with joy ev'ry day;
Tho' the clouds dark and threat'ning above me may roll,
They can cast not a shadow of doubt on my way,
For the love of my Savior is filling my soul.

Chorus:
Filling my soul today,
Jesus has come to stay!
What have I to fear
With such a Savior near?
Filling my soul today,
Jesus has come to stay,
Praise Him forever,
He has come to stay.

2 I can never grow weary, I cannot grow faint;
Ev'ry moment I'm keeping my eyes on the goal,
He is with me, sustains me! I'm free from complaint,
For the love of my Savior is filling my soul. [Chorus]

3 Grace He gives me sufficient, whatever the test;
In the moments of sorrow He comes to console;
Speaking words sweet with comfort, and, oh, I am blest,
For the love of my Savior is filling my soul. [Chorus]
