How Can I Keep From Singing

C

[Verse 1]
             C              F
My life goes on in endless song
 C                  G
Above Earth's lamentations
             Am      F        C
I hear the trumpets sounding strong
              G     C
That hails a new creation
                 Em             F
Through all the tumult and the strife
   C                G
I hear its music ringing
         C            F
It ever echoes in my life
     C     G         C
How can I keep from singing?

[Verse 2]
                C       F       C
And though the shadows gather 'round
                     G
The endless song it giveth
               Am       F    C
My strength within and joy abound
               G       C
The world of truth it liveth
       Em                  F
Though dark the night and long the road
   C              G
I hear the music ringing
               C         F        Em
And with such power and grace bestowed
           G         C
How can I keep from singing?

[Verse 3]
              D               G
No storm can shake my inmost calm
      D                  A
While to this rock I'm clinging
           Bm           G
How can I ever come to harm?
     D     A         D
How can I keep from singing?
      F#m                 G
Then sings my soul with love profound
   D             A
A fountain ever springing
      D                  G         D
Deep from the earth how sweet the sound
          Bm  A      D
How can I keep from singing?
