How Can I Keep From Singing? - Shenandoah Christian Music Camp
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw-ycev482k

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

Refrain:
No storm can shake my inmost calm
while to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Love is lord of heav’n and earth,
how can I keep from singing?

2 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? [Refrain]

3 What though my joys and comforts die,
I know my Savior liveth.
What though the darkness gather round?
Songs in the night he giveth. [Refrain]

4 The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
a fountain ever springing!
All things are mine since I am his!
How can I keep from singing? [Refrain]

Psalm 137:1-5 New King James Version

1 By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down, yea, we wept
When we remembered Zion.
2 We hung our harps
Upon the willows in the midst of it.
     Father, we weep when we remember what your church was.

3 For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song,
And those who plundered us requested mirth,
Saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
     Jesus, we are told all is well when it is not.

4 How shall we sing the Lord’s song
In a foreign land?
     LORD, how shall we sing your songs when much of your church has been carried away captive by false teaching.

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
Let my right hand forget its skill!
     Holy Spirit, please help me remember Jesus' death on the cross for me.
