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 every 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 Tho' sometimes He leads thro' waters deep,  
Trials fall across the way;  
Tho' 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]
