Songs Of Praise 01/22/2003

Music beyond Sunday's anthems raised,
with verses that spur me to joy and praise,
breathe new life into a tired soul today,
heavily burdened, when from Him I am away.

Songs that praise God with heavenly devotion,
filling a heart with righteous emotion,
and a love come alive through melody's refrain,
anticipation eager to hear the words again.

Words that talk of how His Grace saved man,
through His resurrection eternity's plan,
telling of lost souls that came to be saved,
and how the road to heaven is specially paved.

The phrases are drawn from His Holy Word,
all of them ringing out to be joyously heard,
finding new hearts that are spiritually stirred,
while singing, earth's heavy cares are blurred.

If I were unable to move or shout,
this music is what I would want no doubt,
to soothe a soul not yet moved away,
as it waits for eternity to come her way.

Ephesians 5:17  "Then you will recite to one
another psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.
You will sing and make music to the Lord
with your hearts."
