"When I Sing" - Tyler Castleton Lyrics

A few months ago I shared a youtube video of the song "When I Sing" by Tyler Castleton. I still couldn't find the lyrics so I listened to the song a few times and transcribed it.

Something happens in my soul

When I sing

It’s something out of my control

When I sing

It’s not a masterpiece, but I’m given what I need

To share the words my heart can’t speak

When I sing

Sometimes it’s the only way

So I sing

To share the things I want to say

So I sing

When I can’t express my joy, my song becomes my voice

To testify of what I believe

So I sing

I sing to praise the one who grants me daily breath

I sing to share my deepest fears

I sing to thank the one who guides my every step

I feel Him close to me when I sing my melody

I can hear Him teach me

When I sing

Somehow He can reach me

When I sing

He hears my humble pleas, He knows my every need

If I am still, He’ll speak to me

When I sing

The voice is pure and sweet

But it doesn’t come from me

I feel the blessings of His peace

When I sing
