OK, I know it’s May First but the idea for this poem came to me late last night (April 30th) so if you’ll allow me some leeway, here is my final National Poetry Writing Month Challenge poem for 2018. Only wrote 14 out of 30 again. Well, there’s always next year, I guess!
I was recently blessed to hear the musical talents of Gospel Singer, Cindy Sites. Her lyrics and testimony touched me so deeply. As I thought back over her performance the thought came to me that she is “God’s Song”. And so, this poem was born. This is for Cindy from Cindy!
“He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD.” Psalm 40:3 (NLT) / Pixabay
God’s Precious Song
Her heart is revealed
Through the words that she sings.
Melodies so sweet.
God’s message she brings.
Sharing her grief.
Proclaiming her praise.
Touching our souls
With a grace that’ll amaze!
Sing, sweet friend!
Sing loud and clear.
There’s applause in Heaven
As your voice is lifted down here.
Some have tried to quiet you,
But they were in the wrong.
Yours is a gift given from above
And YOU are God’s precious song.
So precious that she has used her talents to bring others to God. So precious that you are too. Love to you both!
So precious to have such an encouraging and thoughtful friend!!!
