I Am My Father's Child

1. I am my Father's child,

He takes my hand to lead

and guide me through.

The first days when I was still struggling and learning how to walk.

He never lets me stumble,

I am my Father's child.

2. I am my Father's child,

I play around but I always feel secure.

'Cause from a distance, lovingly, he watches over me.

My father never leaves me,

I am my Father's child.

Refrain:

I know and I believe my Father loves me,

He never leaves me.

I always want to be like my Father,

he's everything to me.

'Cause I am my Father's child.

3. I am my Father's child,

It's all I want and it's all I need to be.

Life is never so complete,

Heaven is when I am with him.

So close beside my Father,

I am my Father's child. Refrain 2x

End: I am my Father's child.

How Can I Keep From Singing

1. My life flows on in endless song,

1. above earth’s lamentation.
   I catch the sweet, though far-off hymn
   that hails a new creation.
2. 
   
3. Refrain:
4. No storm can shake my inmost calm
5. While to that Rock I’m clinging.
6. Since Christ is Lord of heav’n and earth,
7. How can I keep from singing?
8. 2. Through all the tumult and the strife,
   I hear that music ringing.
   It sounds and echoes in my soul,
   How can I keep from singing?
9. 3. What though the tempests 'round me roar,
   I hear the truths it lives.
   What though the darkness 'round me close,
   Songs in the night it gives.
10. 4. When tyrants tremble, sick with fear,.   And hear their death knells ringing.     
    When friends rejoice both far and near,  How can I keep from singing?
11. 5. 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?
