How can I Keep from singing

"How Can I Keep from Singing" is a joyful, driving anthem of praise that captures the unstoppable urge to worship. Originally penned by Chris Tomlin, Ed Cash, and Matt Redman, this choral arrangement by Mary McDonald brings a bright, rhythmic energy to the choir loft. The lyrics speak of an "endless song" that echoes in the soul, reminding singers and the congregation alike that even when storms come, we have a firm Rock to cling to.

For a choir, this piece is a fantastic choice for a concert, a special thanksgiving service, or any moment of joyful celebration. The arrangement builds beautifully, moving through key changes that lift the voices higher as the message deepens. When the choir reaches the bridge, declaring "I can sing in the troubled times... I can sing with my last breath," it becomes a powerful declaration of faith. The voices unite to sing with the angels and saints around the throne, creating a moment of genuine uplift.

Singing this piece requires a lively, buoyant energy. The repeated question in the chorus, "How can I ever say enough, how amazing is your love?", resonates deeply with anyone who has felt the overwhelming grace of God. It is a song that leaves both the choir and the listeners encouraged, ending on a triumphant, ringing final note that simply makes the heart want to sing.
