You cant keep god from loving you lyrics

PETULA CLARK

"You Can't Keep Me From Loving You"

You can't keep the star from the cloudless night
You can't keep the wave from the shore
You can't keep the sky free from birds that fly
You can't keep me from loving you
As the grass will grow, darling, this I know -
You can't keep me from loving you

Try to stop the trembling of the autumn leaves
Try to turn the rose petal blue
Darling can't you see some things have to be
You can't keep me from loving you

You can't keep the snow from the moutain top
You can't keep the moon from the sea
You can't keep the trees from the evening breeze
You can't keep me from loving you
No, some things never change, so it isn't strange -
You can't keep me from loving you

This is a version of "You Can't Stop God From Loving You" from Hosea

and is performed here by the International Staff Songsters of The Salvation Army.

You can't stop rain from falling down,
Prevent the sun from shining,
You can't stop spring from coming in,
Or winter from resigning,
Or still the waves or stay the winds,
Or keep the day from dawning,
You can't stop God from loving you,
His love is new each morning.

2.
You can't stop ice from being cold,
You can't stop fire from burning.
Or hold the tide that's going out,
Delay its sure returning,
Or halt the progress of the years,
The flight of fame or fashion,
You can't stop God from loving you,
His nature is compassion.

3. You can't stop God from loving you
Though you may disobey him,
You can't stop God from loving you,
However you betray him;
From love like this no power on earth
The human heart can sever,
You can't stop God from loving you,
Not God--not now, nor ever.
