Sing!

Sing in the midst of troubles
Rejoice beneath the rain
For the Lord will deliver
If in Him you do remain.

Sing when dark has fallen
Hum in the morning light
Lift up the name of Jesus
Praise with all your might.

When the clouds are heavy
When snow is falling down
Praise the earth's creator
Lift to Him worship's sound.

A song like sweet incense
Rises to meet the King
He savors the song's aroma
As you lift your praise and sing!
