In the plaques at a local 911 memorial, I noticed the AGES for the fallen firemen, police, and Port Authority officers… nearly all these ages were my age or younger… So many people not even in their prime… Wow this made me the most sad to know these lives were lost so young… I know they served so bravely and did so much in their short time on earth… God bless their souls…
And I pray that God took all 3000 up into heaven, no questions asked… I KNOW it doesn’t work that way but I prayed anyway that God found a loophole for the non-believers too, that He convinced them last minute, and let them in… Maybe, just maybe…
So this song is cool – I heard the lyrics about singing and since I was REALLY thinking about the people on 911 and I pray that each “found the savior” as the buildings collapsed, I appreciated these lyrics: “And as the chorus grew – A thousand hearts beat true – Then like a glowing beacon in the dark – Hope came shining through”
and l love the lyrics that touch my story too – “and choirs sung high – grant her new life – make me a vessel – of conquerous grace -music has shown her the way – she lived today”
cool cool cool – God is good in harmonizing my thoughts and times – and I praise that “I LIVED TODAY”
Hymn of A Thousand Voices
Dream Theater
Out of the shadows
One by one they came
To shed their light upon his moment
Of doubt and pain
A thousand voices
Ring out through the night
A symphony of mercy for their savior
Too tired to fight
And as the chorus grew
A thousand hearts beat true
Then like a glowing beacon in the dark
Hope came shining through
Shining through
Shining through
Amazingly
The savior found his voice
And all together they rejoiced
Glorious sound
Guide her tonight
Out of the darkness
Into the light
Merciful song
Set her soul free
Unbind the chains
Of endless sleep
Choirs sung high
Grant her new life
Make me a vessel
Of conquerous grace
Music has shown her the way
She lived today
