A symphony of tragedy

I tune my heart to listen, but I sometimes still don't hear
I sometimes push away a song that longs to be so near
Just when I think I've lost it, I hear a melody so dear
It's the music of your love, my Lord...beautifully crystal-clear


I hear a violin, I see a harp...a baby grand
and every time I fall, the sound of music helps me stand
It raises me ever higher above this desecrated land
and my life is but a song in the palm of your hand


All I can do is live it, this haunting music that you wrote
Amidst crashing harmonic waves I know my spirit will float
A song of tearful redemption is the song that I promote
until a symphony of tragedy becomes a single...perfect...note
