The Master's Hand
The Master’s Hand
was a poem I read as a boy. It described and old violin which was being
auctioned and the bid never getting started regardless to the pleas of the
auctioneer, “do I hear $1.00…. Then out of no where an old man came and took up
the violin. He played it to the delight of the bidders and returned to the
seat. “Do I hear $1000…the auctioneer started and the bid climbed high. That
old master increased the value of the violin by letting them hear it’s
potential. Every young musician has this potential but even more, their music
can one day delight the ears of God.

The Master’s Hand There
is a beauty that comes from the musical strings Harps,
guitars and the violins Ears
tingling, heart warming and general joy Music
from these instruments played by girl or boy And
learning the strings brings unparallel knowledge Students
of music are from a superior college They
learn how to combine many faculties Equipped,
they’ll have an affinity to face life with ease Reading
and playing joyful music pleases God’s ear String
music learning is a soul to prepare How
great to know that one day by your hand An
instrument can sing for God to understand Notes
pleasing, making a joyful noise Delightful
music that our Father enjoys |
