This Is The Time I Must Sing / I'm Gonna Sing / Hope / Then He Said, "Sing!" - Bill & Gloria Gaither

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

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

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

We cry holy holy holy

Is our God

We sing holy holy holy

Is our God

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

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)
