The Secret<\/u><\/strong>
Shhhh\u2026
I have a little secret\u2026
I can\u2019t tell you though
I\u2019m thrilled to overflowing; I just wanted you to know\u2026
My heart is smiling, from my head down to my toes\u2026
Oh it\u2019s the greatest news,
But for now you\u2019ll have to wait\u2026
Joy has come to fill my heart\u2026
It started just today\u2026
If you knew my secret
You\u2019d jump with glee for me
To see the joy I have inside is joy I cannot hide\u2026
Father God in heaven
Always keeps His word
He gives us joy for mourning
The song of a little bird\u2026
Sweet life is flowing and forever remains
A little more time, then I will explain
He\u2019s sending His blessing; Come on let it rain\u2026
Be patient, be kind\u2026and soon you will hear
Shhhh\u2026I can\u2019t tell you\u2026but let me whisper in your ear\u2026
No, no, I mustn\u2019t\u2026
I have to be strong, until\u2026
I\u2019m given the word\u2026and then I will\u2026
Tell you my secret, my secret reveal\u2026
