Nursing home choir

What a precious gift is song
What a joyful sound God hears 
When a little choir goes along 
To share their gospel singing 
The old folks sit all alone each day
Trapped within their frail bodies
But play a hymn: hear them sing 
See their smiling faces shine
The joy that there alights: I say
Sparkles within their eyes: mine
It leaves me too: grinning 
Memories come flooding back 
Forgetting everything they lack 
Peace descends: angels praise 
Dear Lord it's souls we're winning
