How Can I Keep From Singing - Margaret Becker

My life goes on in endless song

Above earth’s lamentations

I hear the real though far-off hymn

That hails a new creation

Through all the tumult and the strife

I hear its music ringing

It sounds an echo in my soul

How can I keep from singing?

Yeah, yeah

Although the tempest loudly roars

I hear the truth, it liveth

And though the darkness 'round me close

Songs in the night it giveth

No storm can shake my inmost calm

While to that rock I’m clinging

Since He’s the Lord of heaven and earth

How can I keep from singing?

How can I keep from singing?

How can I keep from singing?

How can I keep from singing?

How can I keep from singing?

When tyrants tremble in thir fear

And they hear thir death knell ringing

When friends rejoice both far and near

How can I keep, how can I keep

How can I keep from singing?

Yeah, yeah

How can I keep, how can I keep

How can I keep from singing?
