Inspiring Sounds

Music has always inspired me
from my very earliest years
ever since I bought my first record
it's effect was better than any beers

Harry Belafonte's 'Mary's boy child'
was that one I first bought
it was played over and over again
another copy had to be got

The words of that song was inspiring
so much was sown by it's seed
that began a slow eye opener
to Jesus and why for me He did bleed

This lead to remember so well
'man shall live for evermore'
that line wouldn't leave me
till God opened my salvation door

This showed how this Bethlehem babe
was born to die for my salvation
on the cross at Calvary He did
so I could receive my soul redemption

I now have peace and grace within
a song continually in my heart
that boy child born so long ago
lives in me never to depart
