Love is the Music

Love is the Music that the heart sings
And its music has sweetest tune around
If you are attuned and listen carefully
You can hear its lovely sound.
Love has a gentle rhythmic whisper
That those who know love recognize
Love rejoices with those who are happy
And with sadness, love will sympathize.
Love has a gentle cadence.
That lifts the sprit of those we hold dear
For love's song was first designed in Heaven
And sung by the angels as they hovered near.
Love's song has a sweetness and a softness
That never wants to cause hurt or distress
And love that is returned from one heart to another
Well, this type of love is just the very best.
Oh, how I love the music that I hear
Played in my heart and soul today
I pray that I will always be able to hear it
And that my heart, its music will always play!
Instruments created by the best musicians
That have ever tread upon this earthly sod
Can only get a minuscule measure of the perfection
Of music created by the heart of God.
