He Keeps Me Singing

Luther B. Bridgers (1910) • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 26:24

Verse 1

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

Chorus

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know, fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.

Verse 2

All my life was wrecked by sin and strife, discord filled my heart with pain, Jesus swept across the broken strings, stirred the slumbering chords again.

Chorus

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know, fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.

Verse 3

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.

Chorus

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know, fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.

Verse 4

Feasting on the riches of His grace, resting 'neath His sheltering wing, always looking on His smiling face, that is why I shout and sing.

Chorus

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know, fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.

Verse 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.

Chorus

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know, fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.
