How Can I Keep From Singing

This is the last portion of Chris Tomlin's "How Can I Keep From Singing", which we sung in church a few weeks ago.  As I read these words on the screen, and as they started to come out of my mouth - I was struck by an incredible, overwhelming desire to truly believe, and mean them.

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 

I know I am loved by the king and it makes my heart want to sing

We're about to leave for Canada, for Ben's family reunion.  I'm really excited - I love visiting Ontario.  This will be my third time, but the first with all of his brothers, and the first time with all the new grandkids.  Again - I'm truly excited (not only for a much needed break from work) for time with this wonderful family.  But I am a little worried, too.  When kids are around, they're the focus - it's just the way it is.  I worry about my heart.  My husband is incredible, already thinking about ways for us to be away, to have a break if needed.  But I'd covet your prayers!  We leave Friday night, and come back on the 25th.  Off we go, eh!!!
