"How Can I Keep From Singing"


I heard this song by Chris Tomlin tonight and I must say it was incredibly timely. Back at my old church in NSW, Rob [the musical genius] used to sing a cover of it and it used to make my heart soar, and very often brought tears to my eyes with the power and truth in it's words. I was reminded of its beauty in my life tonight. To hear it check it out here

As I wipe the smudged mascara from under my eyes, I can have a little chuckle. I'm sure God knew he'd be doing this to me tonight as I was deciding today whether to use the waterproof mascara or not, I'm sure he's giggling. It's been a good night, God is a truely amazing bloke!

How Can I Keep From Singing
By Chris Tomlin
There is an endless song
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring
And though the storms may come
I am holding on
To the rock I cling
How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing
I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives
And I will walk with You
Knowing You'll see me through
And sing the songs You give
I can sing in the troubled times
Sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step
And fall down again
I can sing 'cause You pick me up
Sing 'cause You're there
I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord
When I call to You in prayer
I can sing with my last breath
Sing for I know
That I'll sing with the angels
And the saints around the throne
