Lonely Strings
by Neal Sanborn
A tree was born and died for me
Its precious limbs were trimmed
That I might make a melody
In hands designed by Him
Where are those hands that held me tight
and tucked me neath her chin
My lonely strings are silent now
When will I sing again
A perfect fit, those hands - my neck
We made folks smile and cry
Our beauty touched their heart and soul
And now they wonder - why?
Though lonely strings weep silent here
And hearts break with the sting
We know in heaven’s choir above
Three new voices sing
And somewhere in that distant home
Those hands pick up the bow
She plays for Jesus face to face
His tender eyes aglow
Our Lord was born and died for us
His limbs nailed to a tree
That we might play a melody
And one day His eyes see
