GOD GAVE ME A SONG

God placed a song within my heart,
With lyrics light and gay,
But it was I who didn't sing
And turned the words to gray.

He made my feet to tap to music
With life in every step
But it was I who failed to dance
And thusly lost my pep.

It was he who placed the light
Within my heart and mind
But it was I who snuffed it out;
My song I failed to find.

May I learn to dance anew,
To sing a song of praise
And never fail to see the light
Beneath His glorious rays.
