A song that plays my heart A box, the music dancer A gift that thou impart It sings, I know the answer It sings of Christ the Lord It sings, I must afford! My heart is open now And heard triumphant vow A chorus, angels, deep Melody, birth of King And I, a promise keep My heart shall ever sing It sings of Christ the King It sings, oh how it sings My Lord, each note defined In heart and soul and mind The babe, in manger waits As kings from far off lands Their song resonates So I may understand The song of Christ our Savior Brings forth stirred behavior On waves, two thousand years The song, my heart still hears To dance and merry sing The Lord comes here to live New notes and chorus bring New life for He forgives! I sing of Christ Lord’s beauty I sing no thought of duty I sing on deaf ears fall A song from birth’s recall I sing of Christ the Lord I sing I must afford! May hearts be open now Who’ll take up cherished vow? [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 12-08-2000).] |

I will, I hear ya! What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |

This, young man, is wonderful! I should hope to see this side of you more often! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Walt~ What a lovely song you've brought to life with your verse. Joy abounds amid the sounds of voices singing with the bringing of praises ringing full of the joy of our Lord. Thank you for this gift, Walt. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
