Sing the Song
It's words began a world ago,
When Love was all there was to know
And from His depths all else did flow
Sing the Song.
Then Love reached down with His own hand
And gath'ring up the dust and sand
And mud He shaped the form of man.
Sing the Song.
He then knelt down, and face to face,
Lips to lips, new life did create.
Love's very breath through man did race.
Sing the Song.
So man, with woman as his bride
Was placed by Love to dwell inside
A garden, Eden, Paradise.
Sing the Song.
Then came another, filled with hate
Towards the song of Love so great.
It's melody he must abate
So none could Sing the Song.
A subtle lie, a knowing nod
A wink, a nudge. "You'll be like god!"
And with two bites, man's voice could not
Sing the Song.
In fear, and nakedness of sin
Man lost the song, and empty then
Did Death replace where Love had been
To Sing the Song.
So Love, who once breathed life within
Knew if He would dwell there again
He must, Himself, pay for the sin
And Sing the Song.
If life once came by touching man
Then coming down He would again
Give life, and teach of Love's refrain.
Sing the Song.
Some heard the Song as only noise.
To others just a madman's voice.
Still others felt they had no choice.
They would not Sing the Song.
But some the melody did bring
Their hearts to praise; their voices sing
The Word of Love once more to ring.
And Sing the Song.
The evil one, in mighty rage
That Love would steal his victory stage
With seething hate, he would engage
A plan to kill the Song.
In dark of night, he captured Him
And precious Love took on the sin
That is, will be, and that had been.
And crucified the Song.
Despair came down like darkest night.
The few that sang just ran in fright.
The evil one laughed with delight,
"Now try to sing the Song!".
For three long days, the silence lay
Thick and heavy in dismay
That in a grave our Love did lay.
Silencing the Song.
Then Death itself reversed its course
And rising with a mighty force
The King of Love lifted His voice
And roared out the Song.
The sun and stars now at His feet
At God's right hand He takes His seat
Till His return brings joy complete
And all Sing the Song.
"All hail the true and mighty King!
Salvation to His children bring.
So to the world we all must sing -
SING THE SONG!"
