God's Music Man

I was asked to write a piece about a good friend who is a gospel song writer.


God’s Music Man


 


As the man stood up, there was silence all around


As everyone awaited his glorious sound


Upon his shoulder he placed the strap


To his instrument of music he so loved to tap


He strummed the strings as he looked to the skies


While all that were watching saw the love in his eyes


He sang of God’s power, His mercy and His Love


Knowing all the while he was sent from God above


The words that he sings strikes a home in our hearts


Thankful each day of our lives he is a part


The man closes his eyes as the music flows out


Moving some people to stand up and shout


The man’s God sent music lives in us all


He tells us God’s love is nothing to small


He sings of a home on the other side


He sings of his joy with a great sense of pride


He will sing till his death for all to hear


Telling how God loves us all so dear


His music will live on even after his death


For God will be there when we draw our last breath


The music you give us; such a God sent gift


Knowing all the while that our hearts need a lift


You answer our prayers in so many ways


It’s I love you and thank you that we all want to say.
