Andraé Edward Crouch (July 1, 1942 – January 8, 2015) was an American gospel singer, songwriter, arranger, record producer and pastor. Referred to as "the father of modern gospel music" by contemporary Christian and gospel music professionals, Crouch was known for his compositions "The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power", "My Tribute (To God Be the Glory)" and "Soon and Very Soon". In secular music, he was known for his collaborative work during the 1980s and 1990s with Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Quincy Jones as well as conducting choirs that sang on the Michael Jackson hit "Man in the Mirror" and Madonna's "Like a Prayer". Crouch was noted for his talent of incorporating contemporary secular music styles into the gospel music he grew up with. His efforts in this area helped pave the way for early American contemporary Christian music during the 1960s and 1970s.
Crouch's original music arrangements were heard in the films The Color Purple and Disney's The Lion King, as well as the NBC television series Amen. Awards and honors received by him include seven Grammy Awards, induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1998, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
I can't keep it to myself
Gotta go out and tell somebody
I can't keep it to myself
Somebody's lost, somebody's dyin
I can't keep it to myself
I gotta tell somebody else
For they've got to know
That Jesus loves them so
Just don't keep it to yourself
Gotta go out and tell somebody
Don't keep it to yourself
Somebody's lost, somebody's dyin
Don't keep it to yourself
Tell somebody else
For they've got to know
That Jesus loves them so
VERSE:
We all have friends that
Cry and cry, cause they don't even know
There's a God who is willing help them bear their load
They don't know that He cares
And He'll see them through the darkest night
How will they find out
There's a God above who really understands
And He can heal broken hearts
If they jus give Him a chance
I must go, we must go
And let them know
Can't keep it to myself
Can't keep it to myself
(Somebody's lost) Somebody's dyin
Can't keep it, can't keep it
(Gotta tell somebody else)
They've got to know
Jesus loves them so
Tell 'em
Tell 'em
Tell 'em
Tell 'em
Gotta go and tell everybody
Gotta go and tell everybody
Can't keep it to myself
Gotta tell somebody else
Gotta go and tell everybody
Gotta go and tell everybody
Can't keep it to myself
Gotta tell somebody else
Gotta go and tell everybody
Gotta go and tell everybody
Can't keep it to myself
Gotta tell somebody else
Can't keep it to myself
Gotta tell somebody else
(Can't keep it to myself)
Can't keep it
I can't keep it
(Gotta tell somebody else)
Can't keep it
I can't keep it
(Can't keep it to myself, gotta tell somebody else)
Can't keep it
I can't keep it
(Can't keep it to myself, gotta tell somebody else)
Can't keep it
I can't keep it
(Can't keep it to myself, gotta tell somebody else)
Can't keep it
