JESUS' SONG

You came to sing your song of felicity
And you sang it beautifully in WORD,

Melody and harmony interlocked and
Blending smooth, to the cross you

Went with your song of all songs...
You, who wants to compose in me

The beautiful song of Jesus, help
Me hum your song with my actions

And to play it over and over again with
My life...thank you Lord for singing!
