Verse 1
D
I have tasted of freedom, I can go where He's leading
D                           A
For shackles can hold me no more
       Em                A
I have learned or life's essence, for I stand in  his presence
A                            D
And sing with my heart He is Lord
D
There are days filled with sorrow and plans for tomorrow
D                           A
But this is the time I must sing
       Em             A
And I know there's a reason, why in his own season
A                         F
God gives me a song I can sing
Chorus

Keep silent ye mountains, ye fields and ye fountains

D
If I've seen and I've done and I've gained and I've won
D                                  A
All the good things that life ever brings
       Em               A
Still I've tasted enough of life's miracle stuff
A                           D
That forever I hust have to sing

D
If the rocks would cry out, should His praised die out
D                                   A
Then the stones must keep silent as long
    Em                          A
As long as I've breath for the singing
A                                                        D
His praise will keep ringing, and I will keep singing my song

Keep silent ye mountains, ye fields and ye fountains

It's the time to sing praises to the Rock of the Ages
A                            D
For this is the time I must sing
