Lyrics Favorite Song of All
His favorite song of all
Is the song of the redeemed
When lost sinners now made clean
Lift their voices loud and strong
When those purchased by His blood
Lift to Him a song of love
There’s nothing more He’d rather hear
Nor so pleasing to His ear
As His favorite song of all
A concert is where people perform for other people
A church is where the people of God come into the presence of God to sing the
praises of God.
