Hymn 117

It only takes a spark to get a fire going

Kurt Kaiser

Verse 1

It only takes a spark to get a fire going,

And soon all those around can warm up in its

glowing;

That’s how it is with God’s love; Once you’ve

experienced it,

You spread His love to everyone; You want to

pass it on.

Verse 2

What a wondrous time is spring when all the

trees are budding,

The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their

blooming;

That’s how it is with God’s love; Once you’ve

experienced it,

You want to sing, it’s fresh like spring, You want

to pass it on.

Verse 3

I wish for you, my friends, this happiness that I’ve

found,

You can depend on Him, It matters not where

you’re bound;

I’ll shout it from the mountain top, I want my world

to know;

The Lord of love has come to me, I want to pass

it on.
