THE MUSIC FROM BEYOND

 
Have you ever heard
Music, as it were,
From another world?
It couldn’t be from here —
Nothing like this was ever heard
 
Anywhere, anytime on this earth,
Except, perhaps at the Savior’s Birth!
No one but I could hear it,

Only what’s done for Christ will last.
 
Only one life, yes only one,
Soon will its fleeting hours be done;
Then, in ‘that day’ my Lord to meet,
And stand before His Judgment seat;
Only one life, ’twill… Continue reading →
