How Can I Keep From Singing?
"My life goes on in endless song
above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear its music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?
While though the tempest loudly roars,
I hear the truth, it liveth.
And though the darkness 'round me close,
songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
while to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
how can I keep from singing?
When tyrants tremble in their fear
and hear their death knell ringing,
when friends rejoice both far and near
how can I keep from singing?
In prison cell and dungeon vile
our thoughts to them are winging,
when friends by shame are undefiled
how can I keep from singing?"

my precious life... it brings me tears of joy to see what i have, from where i have come, and knowing the great places that i will see. i have the most beautiful children, a gorgeous house (and i'm trying my hand at gardening), and a new job.... even a cutie to boot! life is grand and beautiful...
"early in the morning, i will celebrate the light, and when i stumble in the darkness, i will call Your Name by night..."
