How can I keep from Singing

I've been struck by a series of events and crossroads over the past weeks. As decisions were made and things began to unfold, my heart began to be more at peace. Not that things got easier, I was in fact being confronted with truths about my life that requires change. Change in my attitudes and adjustments in my life. I need lots of help from the Holy Spirit and I was reminded of this song today. Through the day, different parts of the lyrics seem to echo and speak right into heart. So after work today, I swung by Trumpet Praise and made my (very rare) CD purchase. I came back and told the husband about the song, and funny thing was that he has been singing the same song too. God has been working this way quite often with us, affirming us with same lyrics, something very comforting to me and reminding me just how real he is. So the song is right, how can I keep from Singing when I know I stand on this rock?

How can I keep from Singing

There is this endless song
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring

And though the storms may come
I am holding on
To the rock I cling

Chorus:
How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing

I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives

And I will walk with You
Knowing you'll see me through
And sing the songs You give

I can sing in the troubled times
Sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step
And fall down again
I can sing 'cause You pick me up
Sing 'cause You're there
I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord
When I call to you in prayer
I can sing with my last breath
Sing for I know
That I'll sing with the angels
And the saints around the throne
