''Sing Me a Song so Sweet a Sound''

Sing me a song so sweet a sound
the melody in my mind
as a child
hearing it by the choir,
chanting voices hymns upon high
words from above
our God
his mercy for children,
weeping in the orphanage today
with our brooms
sweeping
a new day to be saved.
The promise of being adopted
with a room of our own,
pajamas
bright pink in a tidy bed
a pillow puffed like a tiny cloud
sleeping in heaven,
an angel
singing a welcome
your new family God in his mercy
come down as Christ,
lonely
he died to rise again.
Loud the bells are ringing in time
forever to live anew,
praying
for the good news,
laws banning abuse of children.
