Touched

It’s in my heart, it’s in my head, it’s in the air 
And when it takes me I don’t even care 
about the sorrows of the day 
and ev’rything that’s on my mind 
it’s, for a moment, far away 

Music, makes me smile 
And sometimes music even makes me cry 
It flows right through my soul, 
it makes me whole, 
it touched me, after all 

Never the same: so many ways to paint the sound 
Feeling the love and majesty from One Who found 
my heart and gives me the Hope because He is, 
was and will be, the Living One 
That He exists! 

This mys’try makes me smile 
And sometimes this even makes me cry 
It flows right through my soul, 
it makes me whole, 
it touched me, after all
