Heard a little story just the other day
About a rebellious youth: upon my word
He lived a long time ago I must say
Wrote so many hymns unto the Lord
Isaac Watts was this young man's name
From old England born: back in 1674
He didn't like the hymns from that day
Thought to be rebellious: come what may
Was tossed out: excluded by his family
Wandered all over Europe to find his place
Writing songs to our dear Lord's grace
Though rejected time and time again
He found the truth: wrote of God's love
Finally his own father demanded that he prove
His prowess: his amazing saving grace
His hymns so beautiful: so precious too
Showed his family what God's love can do
They chose to accept his precious songs
Allowed him to write so many more each week
Finally understanding: God he truly did seek!
