Living's Hymn




Make the most of moment measure
Feel the notes that glance and glim
Composing with tick-tock treasure
The lyrics of Living’s Hymn

Trace the tempo of an hour
With far more than fingertips
Bury your face in dawn’s flower
Linger where departure drips

Wear wonder like ballet slippers
Twirl across time’s ballroom floor
Orchestral arrangements quiver
With what soon will be no more

Leap where faith turns fear to flying
Scale the heights of happiness
Keep the melody from dying
Dredge the deeps of thankfulness

Write a love song full of fumbles
Dust your knees off when you trip
Life is a dance full of stumbles
Sing with joy and cherish it
