Lyrics

I SING
Ac August 2008
Beverly Graham

I sang for you in a church choir, I sang for you in a bar
I sang while I dug in the fertile earth, I sang while I drove my car
I sang when no one was listening, I sang real good for a crowd
I sang in the silence of my heart, I sang real good real loud
I sang real good real loud

I sang from the top of a mountain,
I sang from the sea's moving shore
I sang with a voice grown tired with age,
I will sing till I can sing no more, I will sing till I can sing no more

I sing for love and compassion for tolerance and unity
Some weep for their enlightenment
Some just turn away from me,
there are those who turn away from me

Yet I sing for all of your people even if they do not want to hear
Every day of my life I will sing your song
In a voice released from all fear
Your message of love will be clear

And the words that I sing are all your words
And the voice that I use comes from you
And I weep as your power encircles me
This song is so old, yet so new
The song is so old yet so new

And the words just keep on moving, and set my spirit free
And sometimes if I am very still, I can hear you sing with me
And sometimes when I am very still,
I hear you sing along with me
