Lyrics

There is an (Bb)end less song, ech oes (F)in my soul, for I (Gm)hear the mu sic (Eb)ring.

And though the (Bb)storms may come, know I am (F)hold ing on;

and (Gm)to (F)the (Bb)rock (Gm)I (Eb)cling.

(Bb)How can I keep from sing ing Your praise?

(F)How can I (Eb)ev er say e (Bb)nough, how a (Eb)maz ing is Your love.

(Bb)How can I keep from shout ing Your name?

I (F)know I am (Eb)loved by the (Bb)King, and it (Eb)makes my (F)heart want to (Bb)sing.

I will (Bb)lift my eyes in the (F)dark est night, for I (Gm)know my Sav ior (Eb)lives.

And I will (Bb)walk with You, know ing You’ll (F)see me through,

and (Gm)sing (F)the (Bb)songs (Gm)You (Eb)give.

(Bb)How can I keep from sing ing Your praise?

(F)How can I (Eb)ev er say e (Bb)nough, how a (Eb)maz ing is Your love.

(Bb)How can I keep from shout ing Your name?

I (F)know I am (Eb)loved by the (Bb)King, and it (Eb)makes my (F)heart want to (Bb)sing.

I will

I can (Cm7)sing in the (Bb)trou bled times, (Eb)sing when I (F)win.

I can sing when I (Bb)lose my step and I fall down a (F)gain.

I can sing ’cause You (Bb)pick me up, (Eb)sing ’cause You’re (F)there.

I can sing ’cause You (Bb)hear me, Lord, when I call to You in prayer.

I can sing with my (Bb)last breath,

sing for I (F)know that I’ll sing with the (Bb)an gels and the (Eb)saints a round the (Fsus)throne.

(F)heart, I am (Eb)loved by the (Bb)King, and it (Eb)makes my (F)heart, I am (Eb)loved by the (Bb)King, and it (Eb)makes my (F)heart want to (Bb)sing.

I can (Bb)sing.
