These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Gentle Music

Gentle music from the Lord,
strong thy ministry,
lift my burdens by The Word,
troubled heart to free.

Gentle music in the air,
crickets, toads, and flying doves
past my sightless stare.
Night can't quench His Love.

Gentle music, Christmas songs,
comforting the heart,
which for Heaven daily longs,
that angst-free life would start.

Gentle music in my ears,
sweetest moment's peace,
loosing me from all my fears
in His kind release.
