CAPO: 4th Fret
 
 
 
[Intro]
C
 
[Verse 1]
                   F       C
My life goes on in endless song
 G            C    G
Above earth's lamentation
           C            F       C
I hear the real, though far off hymn
     G                C
That hails the new creation
 
 
[Verse 2]
          G      C
Above the tumult and the strife
                 G
I hear the music ringing
             C    F      C
It sounds an echo in my soul
          Am        G   C
How can I keep from singing?
 
 
[Verse 3]
                         F      C
What through the tempest loudly roars
           G         C  G
I hear the truth, it liveth
                C        F        C
What though the darkness round me close
             G           C
Songs in the night it giveth
 
 
[Verse 4]
             G        C
No storm can shake my inmost calm
                            G
While to that rock I'm clinging
              C       F          C
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
          Am        G   C
How can I keep from singing?
 
 
[Verse 5]
  C                 F           C
I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin
  G             C    G
I see the blue above it
           C        F       C
And day by day this pathway clears
      G                  C
Since first I learned to love it
 
 
[Verse 6]
             G     C
The peace of God restores my soul
                      G
A fountain ever springing
               C           F    C
All things are mine, since I am loved
          Am        G   C
How can I keep from singing?
