A VOICE FROM THE HEART
It’s not the sound that comes out of the mouth but
what comes from the heart,
We all can raise our hearts as one in loving praise
so do our part
To make the rafters ring in heaven with a sweet
and joyous sound,
Bringing from earth the gratitude that in us should
forever be found.
My voice used to sound sweet and I could my deep
joy always send
With rapturous tones and with other voices as
a choir ever blend,
But now the sound is not melodious and my voice
not strong as all,
Yet in my heart that voice of mine can still reach
many a celestial hall.
I open my mouth and it’s my heart that carries it
ever heaven bound
And the angels rejoice as they hear every meaningful
pure sweet sound.
