These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Silence Gem

The sounds of Heaven, organs play
with joyful talk throughout the Day,
but when the Savior sits enthroned
the silence gem, so buffed and honed.

The Lord of Glory by His Grace
has saved, redeemed from Adam's race
the souls of men, so poor and lost.
He paid their debt, so grave the cost.

"Let all the Earth keep silence 'fore"
this great Redeemer, Heaven's Door.
The honor goes to this One Man.
Salvation's Gift is by Their Plan.

Let all announce as organs play,
"The Lord of Glory rules, today."
As rocks their silence ever keeps,
the children shout, and joy they reap.

Examine well the silence gem
as honor giv'n to only Him.
We sing His praise as He allows,
in silence at His Feet we bow.
