about

This song lines up with Chapter Three of "River of Grace" where I write about losing my voice for three years due to acid reflux and then regaining it last year. Now every time I sing, I am so grateful. It feels so good! We made this song a little bit country to add some fun because that's how I feel when I sing it--it's fun for me and I hope, fun for you too.

lyrics

How Can I Keep From Singing
Verse 1: My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation.

Refrain: No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?

Verse 2: Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear that music ringing,
It sounds and echoes in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?

Verse 3: The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart
A fountain ever springing
All things are mine if I am his
How can I keep from singing?
