How Can I Keep From Singing? (Westin Gillis)



Hello Church!

We are really happy to share with you a wonderful multi-track guitar recording that Westin made to the hymn "How Can I Keep From Singing."  Not only is it beautifully arranged and played, but I can't imagine better timing for the song's message.

CLICK HERE to listen to the song.

We've included the words to the song here so you can reflect on them, pray, or even sing along:

My life flows on in endless song;
Above earth's lamentation,
I hear the sweet, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation
Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear that music ringing
It finds an echo in my soul
How can I keep from singing?
What though my joys and comforts die?
I know my Savior liveth
What though the darkness gather round?
Songs in the night he giveth
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that refuge clinging
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin
I see the blue above it
And day by day this pathway smooths,
Since first I learned to love it,
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart
A fountain ever springing
For all things are mine since I am his
How can I keep from singing?
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that refuge clinging
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
