How Can I Keep From Singing
Chris Tomlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring
And though the storms may come
I am holding on
To the rock I cling
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

Hebrews 12:1-13( God disciplines His sons)
"12 Therefore😊❤,
since we are surrounded
by such a great
cloud of witnesses,
let us throw off everthing that
hinders and the sin that so easily entangles andbl let us run with perseverance that marked out for us.
2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and the perfecter of our faith, who for the joy😊 set before him endured the cross, scorning the shame and sat- down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Consider him( Jesus😊1st❤) who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
5 And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons:
" My son,
do not
make light of the Lord's discipline,
do not lose heart
when he rebukes you❤,
6 because the Lord disciplines those❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ he 😊❤ loves❤,
and he punishes everyone he accept as a son."
7 Endure😊❤ hardship as discipline;
God( 😊100%❤) is treating you as sons. For ( Because) what son is not disciplines by his father?
8 If you are not disciplined( and everyone undergoes discipline), when you are illegitimate children and not true sons.
9 Moreover, we😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ have all had human fathers who disciplined❤ us and we 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ respected them for it.
How much more should we submit❤
to the Father of our spirits
and live!😊❤
10 Our fathers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but❤😊 God( 😊100%❤) disciplines❤ us😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ for ❤our❤ good❤ that we 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ may share❤ in his ❤ holiness😊❤.
11 No discipline seem pleasing at the time,
but painful.
Later on however😊❤,
it produces ❤
a harvest❤ of righteousness❤😊
and
peace😊❤
for those😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ who❤ have been trained❤ by it❤.
12 Therefore😊❤( " Therefore😊❤ in Hebrews 12:1 before and another "Therefore😊❤" concluding thought in Hebrews 12:12a)
strengthen ❤
your feeble arms
and
weak knees.
13 Make level paths for your feet,
so that
the lame may not be disabled,
but😊❤ rather❤ healed😊❤. "( Hebrews 12:1-13 Zondervan NIV Study Bible and all parenthesis parts and all symbols are also for and in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray for others' healing for good. In Jesus'name, i pray( James 5:14-15 ❤ and Romans 8:28😊❤; Hebrews 12:2❤, 13❤) Amen.
Ephesians 6:14-16
"14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth😊❤ buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness😊❤ in place❤,
15 and with your feet❤😊 fitted😊❤ with readiness that comes from the gospel😊❤ of peace❤😊.
16 In addition to all this,
take up(😊❤ " take up"😊❤)
