Filled with two, three, or four beats or more
To tell a story; dare to impact a life,
A mere instant in your life,
A mere blink of the eye and it’s gone
Take a breath and listen to the pulse
Thump thump-thump
Thump thump-thump
Don’t breathe in the middle of the measure
Just watch and play, follow the conductor
Trust him; he knows the music inside out.
Sometimes the measure might get tricky
Full of syncopation and odd rhythms
Don’t close your eyes; and don’t stop
Just keep going, no hesitation,
Boldly approach the measure with confidence
After all, the pulse is still there, guiding you on
Thump thump-thump
Thump thump-thump
Don’t look away, watch the baton
As it continues its graceful dance through the air
One and two and three and four
Play the measures together
Watch the story emerge
A story of life and death
The world’s fall and her redemption
Salvation, hidden between the lines,
A Holy heart, full of love
Thump, thump-thump
Thump, thump-thump
Pounding, inviting you to follow Him
Through each measure of life
Will you follow?
