All That Jive

Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it. - Thoreau

Don't quit.

Just turn and spit.

Don't quit.

Just turn and spit.

Pluck the strings of your heart.

Play your part.

Beat the drums of truth's rhythm.

Bring it to him.

Sing.

Dance.

Make joyful music.

Shake your arms and feet.

Take it to the street.

In gratitude to a loving, faithful God.

Redemption is at hand.

Join heaven's band.

Rejoice.

Show them the spirit that lives inside of you.

In whatever you do.

Stay the course through your Hell.

Gulp hope at the creator's well.

You will be made whole again.

Show the angels your resolve.

Let darkness absolve.

The world may steal your will but never take your soul.

Keep your eyes fixed upon the goal.

Don't quit.

Just turn and spit.

Don't quit.

Just turn and spit.

You're alive.

With all that jive ...

A very jazzy way to deliver an uplifting message. Much more captivating than the usual serious ways that many do inspiration! At first I was stuck on the word "spit" becuz it felt so outside the dots of the spirit of your message. But after thinking awhile, I decided that we must spit out the junk that keeps us from doing a proper jig *wink! wink!* Nice switch from your usual more analytical tendencies! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
