"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

-- 2 Timothy 3:15-17
15 And that from childhood you have Known the Holy Scriptures,
     which are Able to Make you Wise for Salvation through
     Faith in Christ Jesus.

16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is Useful for Doctrine,
   Teaching, Rebuking, Correcting and Training in Righteousness,
17 So that the man of God may be Complete,
     Thoroughly Equipped for every Good Work.

-- Romans 5:8
   But God demonstrates His own Love for us in this:
   While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

-- Hebrews 12:2
   Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our Faith,
   who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame,
   and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

-- Galatians 6:14
   May I never boast except in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,
   through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

-- 1 John 1:5-10
5 This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you:
   God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
6 If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness,
   we lie and do not live by the Truth.
7 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with
   one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
8 If we claim to be without sin,
   we deceive ourselves and the Truth is not in us.
9 If we Confess our sins, He is Faithful and Just and will
   Forgive us our sins and Purify us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar
     and His Word has no place in our lives.

-- Isaiah 1:18
   "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD.
   "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
    Though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."

-- Psalms 57:7-11
7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
   I will sing and make music.
8 Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9 I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations;
   I will sing of You among the peoples.
10 For great is Your Love, reaching to the heavens;
     your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
     let your glory be over all the earth.

-- Psalms 40:3
   He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.
   Many will see and fear and put their Trust in the LORD.

-- Psalms 98:1-2
1 Oh, sing to the LORD a new song!
    For He has done marvelous things;
    His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory.
2 The LORD has made known His salvation;
    His righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the nations.
