"KEEP ME SINGING"

Verse 1
Born again and raised in Your Family.-
It's still a mystery why You chose me.-
Now I look back on days of pleasure and years of fun;
And though I've had my trials, You taught me thru each one.

Lord, I don't deserve the gold-Words from Your mine;-
But Your whispers thrill my spirit more than sweet wine.-
I've been learnin' about the blessings that lovin' You brings--;
Yes, You made me Your Own and You taught my heart to sing. Now. . .

Chorus 1
Lord, don't ever let me lose that song;
Keep me singing through the coming night.
I know the trouble won't be long;
Keep me strong until the morning light.

Verse 2
Thank You for the loved ones that surround me,
Cheerful spirits all around me.
Kids and little babies playing at my feet,
Sweetest women that you'll ever meet!-

Thank You for the souls we've brought to Thee.
They'll be grateful for Eternity!
Now help us win a lot more along the way--
Sing them Your melody until that comin' Day. Oh,. . .

Repeat Chorus 1

Bridge
Lord, Your work can have its trials;
Sometimes frowns will greet my smiles.
I wonder where the rent will turn up from?
But when I look at all You've done for me,
It stirs my soul, creates in me
The will to keep on singin' 'til You come. -

Verse 3
With hardships and temptations at us hurled-
In the last hours of this tuneless world,
Still the faith and hope You give me are like a song;
And while I'm singin', I know I won't go wrong. Sing it with me...

Chorus 2
Lord, [oh, don't ever!] don't ever let me lose that song [please don't ever!];
Keep [keep me singin'!] me singing through the coming night [the comin' night].
Well I know the trouble won't be long;
Keep me strong until the morning light.

Well I know the trouble won't be long;
Keep me strong until that morning bright!
