Hymns
Cynthia Clawson Lyrics

I hear their song
I am inspired by the music and messages of past hymn writers.

Their words of beauty reaching deep within cathedrals of my heart
The hymns touch me on a deep emotional level.

Angelic choirs reverberate the stain glassed windows
The music creates an atmosphere of heavenly beauty and spiritual power.

Of saints and sinners in their place singing out amazing grace
People of all walks of life are united in their appreciation for the beauty in the hymns.

While in the glory of their face, I'm drawn to find my part
I feel a desire to join in with the music and messages of the hymns.

And sing with all my heart
I feel a deep sense of passion and love for the hymns.

I know their words
I understand the messages and themes of the hymns.

Their thoughts reflecting simple truth of testimonies rich in love
The hymns communicate a simple message of love and faith, expressed through personal testimonies.

Their eyes can see the mystery of loving kindness
The hymn writers understood the profound mystery of God's love.

Of chains that life has torn away
The hymn writers found liberation from the difficulties and hardships of life through their faith.

And power found in each new day
The hymn writers found strength and renewal in their daily walk with God.

The Lord's compassion on display
The hymns are a testament to the compassionate and loving nature of God.

His touch from heaven above gave words to speak their love
The hymn writers were inspired by God to write music and lyrics expressing their love for Him.

Composer of my soul, show me all You showed to them
I pray that God will reveal to me the same inspiration and creativity that the hymn writers experienced.

The hymnwriter, hymnsinger, let me know their eloquence
I want to understand the genius of the hymn writers and singers.

Let me share their offering
I want to be able to share the same depth of feeling and belief that the hymn writers expressed through their music.

Put the notes in my heart, the lyrics on my lips
I desire to internalize the music and messages of the hymns, so that they become part of me.

And let the essence of my life be a song
I want my life to express the same love, faith, and hope that the hymns embody.

That others will want to sing
I hope that my life will be an inspiration to others, as the hymns have been to me.

I see their lives
I am aware of the sacrifices and devotion that the hymn writers gave to their faith.

My tears that fall upon the page
I am moved to tears by the beauty and power of the hymns.

A mark indelible in time
The impact of the hymns has lasted through the ages, leaving an eternal legacy.

What sacrifice their hearts poured out like raging waters
The hymn writers gave their all in expressing their faith, pouring out their hearts like an overflowing river.

For sons and daughters to believe
The hymn writers hoped to inspire future generations with their faith and love for God.

And generations to receive the harvest white from all their seed
The hymn writers' legacy has borne fruit through the generations, bringing people to faith and inspiring them to love and serve God.

No greater love sublime could change this heart of mine
The power of the hymns comes from the profound love they express, which has the ability to transform lives.
