How Can I Keep from Singing?

It’s Sunday today, and lots of people are headed to church. We sing a lot at church, whether it’s from the hymnal to words on a projection screen. Some of us know all the lyrics by heart, and that’s a great thing for those days when you need the song but don’t have the hardcopy in front of you.

There are days when the urge to sing is irresistible, and that’s when How Can I Keep from Singing? is so incredibly relevant. Here’s our twelve-bell arrangement, shared as one of our “clone” videos. A blessed Sunday to you!

My life flows on in endless song above earth’s lamentation,
I catch the sweet, though far off hymn that hails a new creation.

No storm can shake my inmost calm
while to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
how can I keep from singing?
