"Wind Chimes"

Wind Chimes (with instrumental mp3)

1.Wind chimes through my windows ringing Set my joyful soul a-singing,
Softly now, new life revealing, Sounds a Father's love appealing. 

Listen! How the echo lingers, Played with air through God's own fingers,
Peace that falls, like fragrance falling, Cheery carols calling, calling, (calling).
 
2.Buoyant bells on blithesome breezes Play the tune the Father pleases;
Hearken, oh my soul, to hear it, Music of the heav'nly Spirit.
He who fashioned music blesses, Dances in the wind, caresses,
Serenading, lullabying, Soul and spirit satisfying (fy-ing).

3.Treasure now the childish pleasures Of the bright melodic measures;
Hear the zephyr minstrelations Rise in airy celebrations,
Notes like butterflies cavorting, Birds of unseen wing a-sporting,

Trilling, thrilling, dipping, soaring, Silver coins of joy outpouring, (pouring).

Do your wind chimes worship Music's Maker? Or do they just help you relax to the cheery, ever-changing melodies of their chime-like bells? 

I've never published this song, except as a [YouTube video]. I've never advertised it, but I see that more than one person has copied it onto their business websites to help them $ell more wind chime$, and that's okay. Hmm, has God ever charged you for a bird song, wind song, cricket song, or water song?

Since this is a song-writing blog, after you have read through it once to just find the feel and the fun in it, go through it again as a serious song-writer— focusing your attention on its internal rhyme, alliteration, colorful-but-less-common words (like blithesome, serenading, zephyr, cavorting and sporting), and its word-pictures (i.e."silver coins of joy"). Oh, and sorry about the pun.

    Purpose of Blog

    Tips... Insights... Song-writing How-to... Critiques... Time-saving Methods... to help make YOU a joyful bard for the Lord.

    My best-known songs are probably "Lo, I Come"– composed before I was married– and "Teach Me, O Lord, to Number My Days" which you may have seen in various hymnals. I have many others trying to sneak out of their file folders, to join the march of music around the world.

    ​Some will be introduced here first as just lyrics, to study the crafting of their messages, others will have music mp3 files or videos also.
