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)
