To God, the Chief Musician

A Psalm of Andrew

To God, the Chief Musician

If life were like music,

Mine would have many puzzling chords.

Often chords that are unresolved --

Until You step in and continue the progressions.

So often I want to write and perform the music.

I am so sure I know best.

But You know better.

You are teaching me simply to be the music

That You both compose and perform.

Patiently You teach.

Slowly I learn.

You are the Chief Musician.

I am Your music.

Mould me into the chords that please You --

That ring beautifully in Your ears.

Then others can see, through me

What it means to be Your music.

Play on, Maestro!

I found this poem in my old files. It was given to me by a friend from university. The author was unknown. It is based on the Scripture taken from:

Psalm 25: 4,5, 8-10
4 Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; 5 guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. 8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. 9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. 10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant.

and Proverbs 3:5-6:
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
