This Is The Time I Must Sing

VERSE 1
I have tasted of freedom
I can go where He’s leading
For shackles can hold me no more
I have learned of life’s essence
I stand in His presence
And sing with my heart He is Lord
There are days filled with sorrow
Plans for tomorrow
But this is the time I must sing
And I know there’s a reason
Why in His own season
He gives me a song I can sing
CHORUS
So keep silent ye mountains
Ye fields and ye fountains
For this is the time I must sing
It’s the time to sing praises
To the rock of the ages
This is the time I must sing
VERSE 2
If I’ve seen and I done
If I’ve gained and I’ve won
All the good things that life ever brings
Still I’ve tasted enough
Of life’s miracle stuff
That forever I just have to sing
If the rocks would cry out
Should his praises die out
The stones must keep silent as long
As I’ve breath for the singing
His praise will keep ringing
And I will keep singing my song
BRIDGE
We cry holy holy holy
Is our God
We sing holy holy holy
Is our God
REPEAT CHORUS
This is the time I must sing
It’s the time to sing praises
To the rock of the ages
This is the time I must sing
(Holy holy holy holy)
We sing holy holy holy
Is our God
(Holy is our God)
(Holy is our God)
