Unless You Write The Song

Unless You write the song

There is no music 

Here

Unless You bring the rain

We pray in vain

Unless You write the sermon

Authenticate the message

Giving us trials

To relate

To what You mean

When You write

What You meant when You meant it

In the ancient holy words

Bringing new life to them

In my context

Here

Creating new holy words

Right here

Without You nothing is made 

We’ve no control 

Without the authority

Or autonomy

You grant

So help us play 

These instruments

Here

To the best of our ability 

To their purpose

And glory

Unless You write the song

We sing

Never even making a sound 

Or we make 

A sound

Without saying 

Anything at all
