He Keeps Me Singing

587 He Keeps Me Singing

1 There's within my heart a melody,
   Jesus whispers sweet and low:
   "Fear not, I am with thee; peace, be still,"
   in all of life's ebb and flow.

Refrain:
   Jesus, Jesus, Jesus–
   sweetest name I know,
   fills my ev'ry longing,
   keeps me singing as I go.

2 All my life was wrecked by sin and strife;
   discord filled my heart with pain.
   Jesus swept across the broken strings,
   stirred the slumb'ring chords again. [Refrain]

3 Feasting on the riches of His grace,
   resting 'neath His shelt'ring wing,
   always looking on His smiling face—
   that is why I shout and sing. [Refrain]

4 Though sometimes He leads through waters deep,
   trials fall across the way,
   though sometimes the path seems rough and steep,
   see His footprints all the way. [Refrain]

5 Soon He's coming back to welcome me
   far beyond the starry sky.
   I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown,
   I shall reign with Him on high. [Refrain]
