When Jesus Sings - Commissioned

A gift freely given

To man is a voice to sing

And some do so well

A voice of golden silk it seems they have

But hearing all none can compare

With one who sings beyond the air

A sound so real

My very mind His voice did heal

The day He sang it was so pure

A sound so clear that i’ve never heard before

A sound that’s refreshing to the soul of man

Lord here I am please sing again

To escape from the cares of this life I need

To hear You sing over and over

Through Your song we all shall live

It seems today some sing

About almost anything and there is no life

With just a rhythm and a rhyme

But if man would take the time to hear

Then tears of joy they all could feel

And love they’d find

To last forever throughout time

But they won’t hear

They’ll just ignore

A song that says that You’re knocking at their door (You are knocking at their

door)

And they would come in and they could dine with You

And You would also sup with them (You would come in and sup with them)

A song of Your Word that puts life in men

To help them stand for You much bolder

This is the only way that we can live

In a time when man’s heart cries in search of an answer to a deeper need

If Your voice they could only heed

Then and only then would they hear You sing

A song of Your love where you died to save

And now You sing so they can live, oh lord

To escape from the cares of this life I need

To hear You sing over and over

A song of your work that puts life in men

To help them stand for You much bolder

A song of repentence from sin and shame

In a world that grows colder and colder

With Your song, we all can live.
