! Will Sing

Paul Lisney

This was written about being grateful to God and about trust and faith.

           I Will Sing

I will sing if the sun is out or the rain is pouring down
I will sing of the joy within my heart
I will sing, thankful for the life You’ve given me
I will sing of the love within my heart

Turn the page, no one can see the future
Only God knows what will come
Man is weak and he fears not knowing
He turns his back and he runs..
To the world where pleasures beckon
Leaving Our Lord far behind
In foolish pride we plan our own lives
Then wonder why things don’t go right

I will sing if the sun is out or the rain is pouring down
I will sing of the joy within my heart
I will sing, thankful for the life You’ve given me
I will sing and praise your holy name

You wake to find yourself in scary places
Wondering where it all went wrong
You stepped outside, unaware of the darkness
And choice by choice you wandered on…
Far away from the Father who made you
And now you realize something’s wrong
This emptiness you feel can help you
And bring you back where you belong

I will sing if the sun is out or the rain is pouring down
I will sing of the joy within my heart
I will sing, thankful for the life You’ve given me
I will sing and praise your holy name

It’s seldom that life goes as planned
But we forget, all is in Our Lord’s hands
Unite your will to the will of the Most High
And Christ will live while the self dies

There He stands, His arms wide open
A smile that says “Welcome Home”
No trace of anger or exasperation
No “I told you so”
Where to from here, my Lord and Master?
My sins have bought a broken life
“The burden’s mine”, He says “Trust in Me
I’ll take the lead and you’ll do fine”

I will sing, knowing that you’re always with me
I will sing from the valley floor, from the mountain high
I will sing and trust in You who knows what’s coming
I will sing and praise your holy name

I will sing, should I lose my voice or my ears fail me
Still I’ll sing: a sigh from deep within heart
I will sing, thankful for the life you’ve given me
I will sing and praise your Holy name

I will sing
