A Song...

My good friend, Jon Rossi, is quite the talented writer, and has composed many songs for his various bands throughout the years. He sent me this song today, and I thought it was worth posting. It captures the frustration of trying to capture God's love and His Word in a simple song...

Lines On Paper
lyrics: Jon Rossi

Write some lines on some paper
Trying to turn my thoughts into ink
My hand can't write as fast as my heart can think.

I don't know what to say
How to turn eternity into a song we play
I don't know what to write
How to take five minutes to describe everlasting life

Waiting for inspiration
Then the words cascade down like rain
Trying both to share myself, and to please You

I don't know what to say
How to turn eternity into a song we play
I don't know what to write
How to take five minutes to describe everlasting life

And these words that I've written
As I use my heart for show and tell
Will they touch the lives of others - will they care?

I don't know what to say
How to turn eternity into a song we play
I don't know what to write
How to take five minutes to describe everlasting life.


Thank you for sharing, Jon! If any of you have some poetry, song lyrics, etc that you would like me to post, send it to me at tangello2911@apu.edu
