THE
MUSIC OF LIFE
A
baby is born, and when she cries
The
mother sings her lullabyes,
Life’s
song begins, and the music goes on.
The
toddler grows stronger every day;
She
learns to sing as she runs to play.
Life’s
song brings laughter, and the music goes on.
God
saves her soul, and the angels sing;
The
bells of heav’n in harmony ring;
She
sings of Jesus, and the music goes on.
Her
life takes shape, the young woman is blest
With
marriage and family, life’s at its crest.
Life’s
song becomes mellow, and the music goes on.
Some
times her life takes a turn for the worse
She
has to sing a different verse
In
a minor key, but the music goes on.
As
the years pass by she faintly hears
A
melody familiar to her homesick ears;
It’s
the heavenly choir, and the music goes on.
Life
comes to an end, she hastens to meet
The
Saviour who’s waiting, she kneels at His feet
And
all of God’s singers join in her song
And
eternity’s music goes on.
