A Musician’s Prayer
Youʹve given me the words, Lord… and the music…a song of life thatʹs new and unrehearsed;
Youʹve given me the joy that makes my heart sing, even though at times the tears come first...
Youʹve taken all my yesterdays of discord, a clash of cymbals, meaningless and vain;
Transposing all the noise into a love song that floods my very soul with its refrain...

Youʹve taken all the gifts I once thought mine, Lord, and changed the composition
of their worth; Reclaiming what was Yours from the beginning,
returning them, transfigured by rebirth...

Youʹve given me the theme for my existence, and I will sing Your glory all my days…
For now, Lord...and forever...be my music and make my life a symphony of praise.
