There are too many dark nights, too many troublesome days, too many   wearisome miles…

THERE HAS TO BE A SONG. To make our burdens bearable, to make our hopes believable,

to release the chains of past defeats. Somewhere down deep in an area forgotten of each one’s heart there has to be a song.

There has to be a song like a cool drink of water, like the gently warmth of sunshine, like the tender love of a child.

THERE HAS TO BE A SONG

Have you ever stopped to consider how terrible this world would be if there were no music or singing?

What would it be like if there were no melody or harmony? How would it feel not to be able to express your

feelings of sadness or happiness through the melody of music. Singing and songs are such an important part of our lives.

We sing songs about everything. Love and hate, peace an war, time and eternity. Family, right and wrong,

loyalty and betrayal, hurt and humor. All have been expressed through a song.

Singing is what adds color to life. It brightens and fills every portion of our lives.

Without singing and songs this would be a dreary and colorless world.

I’m so glad I can say in part as the old hymn, There’s within my heart a melody,

Jesus whispers sweet and low, fear not I am with thee!
