Ebony and Ivory

Often I've sat down
And put my hands there in place
And flowing form the tips of my fingers
Came the sweet sound of Amazing Grace
Then all of a sudden it changed over
And Sweet Hour Of Prayer filled the room
And then I mixed in a portion 
Of the  precious hymn Coming Home.
In The Presence Of Jehovah's my favorite
When I play it I'm so mindful of
The passing of my precious father
Who's with Jesus in Heaven above
How Great Thou Art is a treasure
So many have sung through the years
And Love Lifted Me goes without saying
This one will leave you in tears..
So many hymns without number
That's encouraged and made me so strong
And now looking back I'm so thankful
That God let me play his song.....
