then sings my soul.

"then sings my soul"
then what does my soul sing?
&to whom does my soul sing to?
Father, what are the notes
do You hear the unspoken chorus?
do you feel the crescendo of pain
the fermata of peace
"then sings my soul"
the music of creation
incomplete without my song
maestro, in what key do i sing
the major and minor
the fast and slow
what is the theme?
help it to be Yours
let me follow Your conduction
help me to praise you with this song
let my soul then sing of You
let my soul then sing for You
let my soul then sing to You.

deep.

Father, I feel the drift I'm straying from Your deep into my human shallow The slack grows taunt on the anchor of my soul "Prone to wander Lord, I feel it; Prone to leave the God I love" Pull me back to the anchor Pull me back to Your hope Call to the depth in me Pull me from the deceptive shallow. Let the waves not overcome me Let the storms not push me in Bring me to You Draw me to the depth of Your love as deep calls to deep please, continue to call me help me to hear &help me to follow.
