The Music

 

Songs given to man by God’s Serafim

His choir of Angels on high

From before the beginning

Imprinted on man’s heart

Their songs of praise continue

Holy, holy, holy now they’re singing

 

Tones and melodies all given before

For man to open; and use to adore

Limitless combination of note and rhyme

Bringing praise and glory to Him alone

From our voice and instrument now is raised

Our simple song in earthly time

 

Lifting hearts, life sung in parts

Fitting our earthly voices’ spaces

Filling us with love, bringing us close

Blending in the harmonies of life

Sharing gifts diverse and fitting

Assembled in words of poetry and prose

 

Gift of the angels to help us raise high

Our voices to heaven in praise do sing

With timbrel and harp and beating of drum

With melody and tone and words of praise

In tune with life we raise now our prayer

To You from whom all good things come

 

In music I sing of Your love and I pray that

On angels wings to You they bring

Your music prayed through me today

I lift it high, to Your throne above I sing

In voice and drum, horn and string

In music I’ve found Your love’s true song

As my heartsong it is written, for You I long
