A Beautiful Symphony

Life’s Music

By Jan McIntosh and Elton Smith

CCLI Number: 2714657

Jan contacted me and asked if I could set some of her poems to music. I really like the theme in this one. On her Jesus Hugs website, Jan says "I did not write any of these poems. I only typed them up… God wrote them on my heart first." - Elton May 31, 1999

In 2021, Rhesa Siregar and I started working on a new recording. Natalia Zuk sang the vocals and Jacob Dillard played the steel guitar. - Elton, February 2023

(Introduction)

A musician needs all the keys
To play a symphony;
If he only used the white ones,
What beauty would there be?

The black keys make the music
Melodic to the ear;
If the pianist never used them,
What a different song we'd hear.

And just like that piano,
So it is with life;
It takes both light and dark to make
The music flow just right.

God uses trials and sorrows
Like the pianist uses keys;
He combines the light and dark to make
Life's music sound so sweet.

The song of life sounds better
When He uses all the keys;
For then He can turn a simple tune
Into a beautiful symphony.

(Orchestra Solo)

Yes, the song of life sounds better
When He uses all the keys;
For then He can turn a simple tune
Into a beautiful symphony,
Symphony.
