Notes
For every note in music there's a measure to be made
That helps another know for sure just how that piece is played
Maintaining a consistency in what the people hear
As time and meter fashion all the notes that meet the ear
But notes that have no measure are discordant on their own
They have no rule to guide them as they stand out all alone
And what might be most beautiful instead is harsh or plain
A piece of music one might play but once and not again
But notes that play by measure can excite a symphony
To share its inspiration with as many as might be
Within its range of hearing and within the touch of sound
Arranged by the Conductor in the way that He has found
Will lift the souls of hearers to a place they've never been
A place that cannot be described by tongues of earthbound men
That place where joy that fills the soul exceeds the bounds we know
That even makes the roots and leaves of tender plants to grow
And in that power of music where the rules are followed well
The heart will form a wealth of words before it could not tell
Words that produce expression of the joy that one may feel
That have no limitation as its influence is real
And given by the Father Who knows every thought we bear
From waking in the morning to the last words of our prayer
As we lie down upon our bed to wish the world goodnight
And plan to sing His glory as we wake to morning light
But those who choose to stand alone not metered in their sound
Will find they have a lonely path though many may be found
To be within their presence still in heart there will not be
The music of a million harps in perfect harmony
So friend don't haste within you to be too much on your own
Don't think that every note you make you have to make alone
But join with those who love you who like you desire to be
One with our Great Creator Who designed the symphony
And do your part together in your perfect time and place
That God is waiting to reveal when you receive His grace
And know the impact you will make will be the most profound
Because He is the One Who made you for your time and sound
1 Chronicles 15:16; 2 Chronicles 5:13-14; Colossians 3:12-17
