How can I keep from singing your name!

I love looking back at what God has done over the last year, I love looking through the Journal I kept this time last year and reading what was written, marvelling over the words God spoke through his word, through friends, through the ministry of Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo and seeing how those words have now been outworked and fulfilled in my life. I love recalling my testimony for other people, to help build their faith. It has been truly amazing. 
God has changed my life around. As well as restoring my marriage, my family, providing me with a secure and rewarding job, selling our house, providing us with an amazing new one, he has also grown my faith and my relationship with him more in the last two years than in my 25 years of knowing him. But above everything he has also give me the strength and the hope needed to live as a mum of a child with a progressive illness. He has given us laughter in the darkest of places and calm amongst the storm. He hasn't take Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy from us, my son does have a limited life span and his muscles are wasting BUT what God has done has given us Joy in spite of this. He has given my son a courage and the most simplistic faith that I know will get him through whatever he has to deal with. 
At church we sing a gorgeous song entitled How can I keep from singing your name, by Chris Tomlin I felt like raising the roof, the lyrics are so precious.




Here is an endless song
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring

And though the storms may come
I am holding on
To the rock I cling

How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing

I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives

And I will walk with You
Knowing You'll see me through
And sing the songs You give

How can I keep from singing your praise? How can I ever say enough, how amazing is your love? How can I keep from shouting your name? I know i am loved by the king, and it makes my heart want to sing

I can sing in the troubled times
Sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step
And fall down again
I can sing 'cause You pick me up
Sing 'cause You're there
I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord
When I call to You in prayer
I can sing with my last breath
Sing for I know
That I'll sing with the angels
And the saints around the throne
how can i keep from singing your praise how can i ever say enough how amazing is your love how can i keep from shouting your name a know i am loved by the king and it makes my heart i am loved by the king and it makes my heart i am loved by the king and it makes my heart want to sing

And no matter what 2012 will hold good or bad, whether it be walking on the mountains or trudging through the valleys, I pray I keep on singing. above everything else I am loved by the King of Kings and that alone is a reason to keep singing and one day it will be with him.
