In Songs
of Sweet Accord
My song is a joy unlocked
bursting forth unto my Creator
Unto my saviour I let loose
deepest springs of densest emotions
Finding expression,
I have been lifted to glorious presence of Heavenīs light
From this darkness of sin petrified
Refreshed in precious anointing blood of Jesus Christ
Revived and filled with
Holy Spirit
Life has been re-breathed into me
As Holy Spirit made entry to teach my willing heart
My buoyant heart
is filled with joy unlimited
When I look back and perceive from fading distance filth and impiety
From which His Holy
hands reached out and plucked me forth
I can only sing my joy in songs of sweet accord-
My saviourīs message filled
yawning emptiness in very core of being
Like needed warmth of sunlight
pouring upon tired face in some cold wintry
despair,
Incomparable warmth of love filling
Suddenly is one awakened from sleep of lost souls
Into reviving embrace
of Saviour who salvaged weaklings;
Lost and disoriented on rugged paths
Along lifeīs forgotten roads
where darkness
like a cloak had fallen,
from these pits of darkest villainy,
Gracious Lordīs hand reached down
Lifting willing
souls into His glorious presence and
Hearts could not but sing His praise-
Saviourīs presence inspires praise
in its wholesome beauty, inspiring
His purity lifts weighed down souls and
breaks chains holding manīs spirits
Setting
free from ancient bondage,
Thus are souls loosened from ancient bondage
Filled with renewing Spiritīs fire of life
Lift high voices of hope rediscovered singing praises of adoration
In humility of hope rediscovered
faith is strengthened
when far from life
Had lifeīs maker redeemed value-
