God's Greatest Instruments.
Verse 1
Soon I'll rest in quiet splendor,
with my hair all mottled white,
in a nursing home, all skin and bones,
and hum this song I wrote tonight...
Remembering my younger days,
misspent and free from care,
as I sit alone with a vacant stare
in a ratty old, wheelchair.
Chorus-
Our brains a wondrous organ,
using vocal chords for pipes,
our diaphragm's the bellows
creating melodies we like....
God's perfect instruments that keep,
replaying days we knew,
and entertaining while we sleep,
it keeps tracks on all we do....
It captures all the beauty
and the sorrows that we face,
but unlike P.C.'s or CD's
it will never be erased.
verse 2-
Perhaps there is a reason,
for this vast storage device,
collecting data every day.
both the naughty and the nice.
On judgement day, he'll listen to,
that jukebox in our minds,
and dance with glee at the melodies,
or frown at what he finds.
Chorus 2-
Like the grandest of conducters,
hearing all that he composed,
will your instrument make angels smile,
or be wickedness exposed.
It will be your first recital,
when you reach those heavenly shores,
we must all be sure, that our work is pure,
something every saint adores.
verse 3-
All your relatives will be there,
when your repertoire is played,
will you make your......
Mom and Dad's hearts glad,
or will they both.... be dismayed.
Chorus-
Our brains a wondrous organ,
using vocal chords for pipes,
with diaphragms as bellows
creating melodies we like....
God's perfect
instrument that keeps,
replaying days we knew,
and entertaining while we sleep,
it keeps tracks on all we do....
it captures all the beauty
and the sorrows that we face,
but unlike P.C.'s or CD's
it will never be erased.
Verse 4-
So when your writing your next songs,
remember fame will come your way
ten trillions souls from earth
who've found rebirth,
will ponder every word you say.
What will you bring??
What will you bring?.......
