it acts like love

[desmond dillon]

It acts like love  -  music,

it reaches towards the face, touches it and tries to let you know 

His promise; that all will be well.

It acts like love - music, 

and tells the feet

'you do not have to be so burdened'

My body is covered with wounds 

this world made,

but i still longed to kiss Him, even when God said,

'Could you also kiss the hand that caused each scar,

for you will not find me until you do.'

It does that - music - helps us to forgive.
