Maureen Lefanue Poet Rhyme

Let Your Soul Ascend Nearer Heaven

Let Your Soul Ascend Nearer Heaven
”Inspired by Steps to Christ," written by Ellen G. White

Let Your Soul Ascend Nearer Heaven
On the wings of worship and praise.
Worship God with song and music;
Your melodic voice to raise.
With thanksgiving of melody
Honor your Lord on high
And on those wings of worship
May your heart with joy fly.

In the courts of heaven
Sweet music plays always;
Angels worship our Master
With soft voices singing His praise.
The beauty of this music
Is like nothing here on earth.
It’s accompanied by millions of voices
Of angels singing for all they’re worth.

Music touches the heart
And sometimes pierces the soul;
Convicts with precious rhyme,
For that was the Inspirer’s goal.
Lyrics put to music
Have greater impact than words alone.
That’s why singing Bible verses
Leads us closer to heaven’s throne.

So Let Your Soul Ascend Nearer Heaven
On the wings of worship and praise.
Praise the Lord for His numerous blessings
Of supply and good health, not malaise.
As you sing your soul will fly
Way up above this earth below;
Nearer the courts of heaven;
Where the joy of heaven you’ll know.
