How Can I Keep From Singing - Audrey Assad

“Better, my brand new single, is out now. Check out the video here on KZbin, or you can stream the song everywhere that music is available thank you for listening!” • Better - Audrey Assad ...
-----------------------------------------
Out now on Inheritance
smarturl.it/AA_...
My life flows on in endless song
Above earth’s lamentation
I hear the sweet though far off hymn
That hails a new creation
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing
It finds an echo in my soul
How can I keep from singing
What though my joys and comforts die
The Lord my Savior liveth
What though the darkness gather round
Songs in the night He giveth
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that refuge clinging
Since Christ is Lord of Heav’n and earth
How can I keep from singing
I lift mine eyes the cloud grows thin
I see the blue above it
And day by day this pathway smoothes
Since first I learned to love it
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

This song is healing my soul. Thank you for allowing God to work through you to share His love and mercy. Truly, my soul is being touched and strengthened in this dark time because of your singing and video. I thank Jesus for you.

We will be reunited with all that have gone Before us . I buried a son in 2005.on October 3 , 2019 God let me get a glimpse of our Soul with a Partial out of body experience or NDE . IT was the most life changing experience , I knew instantly that I didn't ever have to breath or eat again , no chronic pain . It literally felt like God was holding me in his hands.That small voice told me If I leave now my time here in this vessel was done , and magically I went back into my body . Ever since then I know Death is nothing to Fear it's a New Beginning to Immortality and Eternal life with our loved ones and Creator !!!!

:P I first heard this song through Enya, covering a version reworded by Pete Seeger, "...since love is lord of heaven and earth...." And supposedly he intended to lose as much of the explicit Christian theology as possible, but I think he failed wonderfully. That line always stood out to me, and is something I think we can identify with

I love the video of rivers and forests and mountains and aerial views, and the lyrics swiveling and fading in and out at the ends, and the instrumentalists playing, and Audrey's voice gently and clearly calling our hearts.

So much better with a clear voice like yours. 🤗 . I really think there is great value in getting old hymns (lots of them) out there... but with a better musical arrangement and more angelic voices. 🙄

[@mcginnisdmm1253]

New arrangements can lend a beloved old song a different perspective, as well. The version of this hymn I loved the most is almost a capella with a solo male vocalist; it has an ethereal atmosphere. This rendition has more of a martial tone, a confident, bold, victorious spirit -- 'Onward, Christian Soldiers' comes to mind, with our faces set like flint. Inspiring!
