Sweeter Song
Let me sing to you
The sweeter song
The song of ages past
The song of future light
The song of what can be
The song of all things right
Let me sing to you
The sweeter song
Whispers of what’s to come
Peace that fills the soul
Beauty that overwhelms
Love that makes me whole
Let me sing to you
The sweeter song
Good things come
To those who wait
And anything good is
Worth waiting for
It’s not about what you must not do
But about all you’re free to give
To open up the space inside
For the sweeter song to live
Let me sing to you
The sweeter song
Of promises fulfilled
Of sacrifice and denial
A life hard and untraveled
But always is worthwhile
Let me sing to you
The sweeter song
Of commitment that lasts a lifetime
Built on holy information
When you listen to deeper desire
Over instant gratification
Let me sing to you
The sweeter song
You know the notes and the tune
You find yourself singing along
Don’t forget the price you’ll pay
If you forget to sing the sweeter song
The pain in choosing the narrow
The price in saying no
The waiting for tomorrow
The sorrow of letting go
All makes the song sound sweeter
For the pressure of the present
Makes the beauty of reward
And a joy effervescent
He makes all things beautiful
He makes answers for our problem
He makes sweeter songs to be sung
For the glory of fulfilling them
Let me sing to you
The sweeter song
