This Is the Time I Must Sing

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)
