God doesn’t care if you can’t “carry a tune”
He just wants to hear your heart sing 
He will give you a bucket to carry it in 
If you will just let His praises ring 
When your song doesn’t sound too great 
When it seems it can’t be worse 
Let God fill your heart anew 
Give your song a brand new verse 
When problems abound and choke every sound 
You just got to keep on singing 
When all you can think is how life does stink 
Hold your nose and keep on singing 
When friends run away and it rains every day 
Raise your umbrella and keep on singing 
When bills collect and you scream “what the heck?”
You just smile and keep on singing 
When you’re at odds with your man and he don’t understand 
Check your sugar and keep on singing 
When you want to be lazy and your kids drive you crazy 
Eat some ice cream and keep on singing 
When your emotions are a mess and you hear PMS
Take your hormones and keep on singing 
When it’s a bad hair day and you want to run away 
Start a “new style” and keep on singing
When anger your heart does fill and you have the urge to kill
YOU REALLY KNOW YOU GOT TO KEEP SINGING
When pain makes you ache and you’ve had all you can take
When Satan thinks he is controlling your day 
Don’t you frown and cast yourself down 
YOU JUST KEEP ON SINGING ANYWAY
