He Gives Me a Song

He gives me a song I’ve known all along That He is the author of music I’m learning life’s song What’s pleasant, what’s wrong And making the music melodic I practice, I sing Make praise to my King I learn to keep key and keep counting And quickly I’ve found That major keys sound More happy and sweet to the hearing Yes, majors are nice And majors suffice But music could surely be finer With depth in the song I learned before long That depth comes by adding a minor The majors are glad The minors are sad When mixed, they put music to motion With minors down low And high notes you show A spectrum of sound and emotion ********** I think of this life With triumphs and strife So seamlessly melded together Yah uses the good In sorrow He would Desire that I become stronger I could pray for ease For that which I please Or ask that the storm doesn’t thunder But I’d rather choose To never refuse The will of my Heavenly Father He knows that I see His blessings to me More clearly when grief clears my vision The sorrow, the pain The peace and the gain When mixed, put my heart into motion He gives me a song I’ve known all along That He makes my music much finer The joy mixed with strife Adds depth to my life He mixes the major and minor
