If you listen very closely
You'll hear music blowing in the wind,
The notes begin very soft and low
Of very gentle ring.

But follow where it leads
Up hill and down the dale,
It will lead you to the source
If you listen to it's tale.

Pause a-while beneath the tree
To still your longing cry,
Immerse within the beauty
Don't let it pass you by.

Listen whence it came
And where it is today,
To know just where it goes
Then mind all it might say.

Don't be, oh so busy
So the music, you can't hear,
Tune in to love today
While it is very near.

Don't let another drown it out
With empty, toneless din,
Get into everlasting rhythm
Then follow with the feet.

Now is the perfect time
To listen to the beat,
Keep your ears open to God
For the music comes from Him.
