A gift freely given To man is a voice to sing And some do so well A voice of golden silk it seems they have But hearing all none can compare With one who sings beyond the air A sound so real My very mind His voice did heal The day He sang it was so pure A sound so clear that i've never heard before A sound that's refreshing to the soul of man Lord here I am please sing again To escape from the cares of this life I need To hear You sing over and over Through Your song we all shall live It seems today some sing About almost anything and there is no life With just a rhythm and a rhyme But if man would take the time to hear Then tears of joy they all could feel And love they'd find To last forever throughout time But they won't hear They'll just ignore A song that says that You're knocking at their door (You are knocking at their door) And they would come in and they could dine with You And You would also sup with them (You would come in and sup with them) A song of Your Word that puts life in men To help them stand for You much bolder This is the only way that we can live In a time when man's heart cries in search of an answer to a deeper need If Your voice they could only heed Then and only then would they hear You sing A song of Your love where you died to save And now You sing so they can live, oh lord To escape from the cares of this life I need To hear You sing over and over A song of your work that puts life in men To help them stand for You much bolder A song of repentence from sin and shame In a world that grows colder and colder With Your song, we all can live.
