It only takes a spark, to get a fire going (going)
And soon all those around, can warm up in glowing (glowing)
That’s how it is with God’s love (A–hh!)
Once you’ve experienced it
You spread his love to everyone;
You want to pass it on (pass it on, pass it on)
What a wondrous time is spring, when all the trees are budding (budding)
The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming (blooming)
That’s how it is with God’s love (A–hh!)
Once you’ve experienced it
You want to sing, it’s fresh like spring
You want to pass it on (pass it on, pass it on)
I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I have found (I have found)
You can depend on him, it matters not where you are bound (you are bound)
I’ll shout it from the mountain top (A–hh!)
I want the world to know, the Lord of love has come to me
I want to pass it on (pass it on, pass it on)
