LISTEN TO THE MELODY
The Melody
my muscles, joints
do not agree with the cold
every fibre aching
as I cried out
this is how the Lord responded
when the pain sings
listen to the melody
and find Me there
in the low notes
the long wails
staccato beat
you will hear My voice
draw your strength
from My presence
do not allow the pain
to speak words of exclusion
or disqualification
you are always welcome
in the secret place
come away
abide in Me
Speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:19)
