Db E F#
I Was born with an angel whispering in my ear
Db E F#
Telling me sacred secrets that God wanted me to hear.
A B
And I have lived to tell the mysteries I've been told
A B
And even when they tell me it's my time to go
E F#
No I will not, No I will not
Db
Not go quietly
E F#
No I will not, No I will not
A B
Not go quietly no, no, Not go quietly no, no
Db
Not go quietly
These things I tell, they are much truer
than the heart of he who speaks
Even so, this humble servant
can not help but talk about his King
so I will sing 'cause I can't hold back the song
I shout and scream, until God takes me home
Chorus
Bridge
E
So how can I keep Silent

So how can I not speak

And tell about the Saviour
B
Who has set this prisoner free.
Chorus
