Dec.04.01: Light For The Day - "The Violin" -- Psalms 40:3 (TEV) "He taught me to sing a new song, a song of praise to our God. Many who see this will take warning and will put their trust in the LORD." ---------------------------- "The Violin" Alone and so silent This lost violin without a bow That no one has touched And no one even knows Trapped in a deaf world I was locked in my case Too quiet to hear The tears crying on my face Until one love morning My world was opened wide Angels from Heaven shouted While silence ran to hide God's hands reached deep And lifted my soul and sin He cradled me in His arms Placing my heart to His chin The comfort I felt Was like never before I knew He was the love I'd been waiting for He said,"My dear violin I'll make you mine And touch your soul With music divine" He took a bloody cross And made it into a bow To strike across my soul To reveal the scars below For only His cross Can make this violin cry When the sins of my past Remember to lie For with each painful stroke Across the bridge of my soul The blood from His bow Washed my heart completely whole Now this violin Forever will play Melodies of Heaven And dreams of eternal days For the sweetest song I shall ever sing Is when Your peace Caresses my strings

"Sing to Him a new song,
play skilfully on the strings, with loud shouts. For the word of the LORD is upright; and all His work is done in faithfulness." |
