Song of the Soul - 2
Merciful and wise, filled with light
My heavenly Father shines down
Coloring my soul in hues of compassion
A gentle flow of hope and faith
Inspiration that hallows my world
Tender and enlightened, His grace
Sheds light on my imagination, my praise
Glorifying His name, His way, His Son
With music and song, a dance of joy
Alive with roses and birds, butterflies
Wings of serenity, serving the earth
Like the moon and stars and sun as they
Rise, shimmer and stun our dreams
Into living out a feeling, a belief, a need
Swaying every thought, inspiring peace
His love is like the purity of a soul freed
By the One who left paradise to deliver
Our souls from sin that held them captive
Generous and gracious, His wisdom brings me
Unadulterated courage, strength and ambition
A second chance, a way to reach beyond faults
Into the penetrating warmth of a gentle thought
A heart and soul both authentic and trustworthy
Dancing with kindness, liveliness, vibrancy
A feeling, a sparkle, a energy – resilient
Spiritually wise and willing to give to me
The proof that God is good and He is just
He gives sincerity and serenity and sensitivity
He fills the heart and soul with charity
A giving spirit of love, laughter – light
That brightens every thought and enlightens
Every hope… shimmering with insight
Unraveling every mystery and awakening
A understanding of His inspirations
His wisdom, joy, imagination – His way
Of freeing the soul from hatred and blame
Leaving only a trace of His elation to say
He has given the soul a new way, a new day
Breathed light into the darkness of worry
Blocked the obscurity that comes from pain
Birthed a love that is greater than fear
A love that is more alive than any dream
Alive, more brilliant than any sun
He only desires to free us from
The one who longs to destroy our soul
Leave us depleted, dead and alone
Without reason, hopeless and mournful
Filled with death and disillusionment
He frees our weary souls from this darkness
This fiend who reeks of destruction, despair
And reminds us why we should always be thankful
For the grace that gives our souls a way
To know the wonder of peace and praise
With faith to pray for the promise of love
That will cover every sin with His blood
And assure the soul that God above
Erases all doubt with assurance that He is
The satisfaction and salvation that comes
From trusting in His One and Only Son!
