A Cappella Children's Choir Sings 'How Can I Keep From Singing' Hymn
The talented a cappella voices of the Academy Children’s Choir performs ‘How Can I Keep From Singing.’ This classic hymn is a lesser-known hymn by Robert Lowry, but when you hear these sweet words, it might just become your new favorite.
“My life flows on in endless song;
above earth’s lamentation,
I catch the sweet, though far off hymn
that hails a new creation.”
Today, the Academy Choir is putting their own unique spin on this powerful hymn. The academy was originally established back in 2014 by former Pentatonix member Avi Kaplan along with Robert Dietz and Ben Bram.
Now, every year, children from all around the country come together for a ‘camp’ on all things a capplla. On their website, the group boasts that, “We are boldly changing the music industry by investing in young people. Academy develops a culture that is passionate about lifelong learning, celebrating each person’s unique gifts, and being a light to others. We believe that when we offer the best of ourselves, both in our music and how we treat each other, we can change the world for the better.”
“No storm can shake my inmost calm
while to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
how can I keep from singing?”
This particular performance showcases the incredible talent that each one of these students truly possesses. There is so much passion in every single word that it is truly an amazing concert to witness. I am so glad that these teens are getting the opportunity to pursue their dreams in such a beautiful way.
