God's Delicate Grace
Poetry slips out of its hiding place,
Soft rhythm dances across gentle prose,
Love steals a kiss from God's delicate grace
While Angels swap their harps for some cellos.
Heaven's white wonder spills musical themes,
Poetry slips out of its hiding place,
Hearts feel like they're going to burst their seams,
Love steals a kiss from God's delicate grace.
Beautiful melodies flutter in sighs,
Soft rhythm dances across gentle prose,
Old souls and new rest on clouds of surprise
While Angels swap their harps for some cellos.
