MUSIC TO DELIGHT THE SOUL
At the moment, there is music playing soft and clear,
A haunting melody drifting inward so my soul can hear,
The flute, oboe and horn pass it gently one to another,
Now the strings hold it reverently like a baby brother
Placed in the arms of a lonely child, and love wells
As joy increases as the feeling spreads and music swells.
You can feel the siblings play skipping among flowers
None stop, delight and fun that you want to last for hours.
Yet they tire, and a peaceful calm returns as home they go
To sleep and rest and even their sweet dreams we know.,
Movement after movement is played to rescue me somehow
From worry and slowly note by note furrows leave my brow,
And peace fills my heavy heart, prayer is answered in sound
The Lord will answer prayers, a way will always be found.
