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.
