Crystal Wind Chimes

Crystal wind chimes to hang outside To bring cheer when her brother died She’d hear the tinkling with each breeze Melodic tones put her at ease And helped to cast her cares aside For so long she’d stood by his side But God had listened as she cried And he urged me to give her these Crystal wind chimes Think of him as crystals collide Soft, sweet whispers blessings confide No longer does her warm heart freeze She hears his voice upon each breeze – Crystal wind chimes
