Flat
A Poem by John D. High
I tried to play a tune, but the notes came out flat.
I know I have a song in there; it just won’t come out.
I know my Father wants me to be free.
But the way out has been hidden from me.
Then, Jesus came along and touched my heart.
Put a song in there that I can play.
Taught me instruments so I could express myself.
Now I play with joy, and the glory of God is what I bring.
I can finally express myself.
My songs bring life to others who need that spark.
Now they can let out the light from deep inside.
And play a melody that is oh so sweet.
