Without Music Life Would Be a Mistake

by Roxanne Lea Dubarry

Preface

A friend of mine, Sarah, gave me bumper sticker from The Old Time Music Association that once we both belonged to. I promised her to either write a poem or a song based upon it.

Without music life would be a mistake

For without music life oft times would

Be much too hard for all of us to take

For without our blessed Lord's devine

Songs in our hearts and his words

Lov'ly melodies that both men an' angels

Can sing praising our God to-gether

In the most perfect beaut'ful Joyous

And beautiful pleasant Heaven an' earthly

Re-joic-ing Chouous per-fect wonder-ous

Harmony O' let oft his very own creations

And loudly and boldly sing un-to our Lord

All brand new songs oft wor-ship and an'

Oft wonder and oft joy Songs that both

heav-en and Nature all together can lift up

Our voices and all sing glory to God our

Newborn baby and holy earth born King

Without music life would be a mistake

For without music life would oft times

Be much too hard for all of us to take

For without our blessed Lord's divine

Blessed Lord's song in our hearts and

For without our blessed Lord's songs

In our hearts and his words lov'ly

Melodies that both men an' angels

Lift up our voices an' sing glory to God

Our blessed redeemer an' our vict-or-ious

Lord and King O' Let all oft heaven and

Nature Rejoice, Praise and Sing Glory to

Jesus Christ our glorious virgin newborn

Wondorus baby and ever-lasting King!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! A-Men!

Merry Christ-mas!

All of my Love in Christ Jesus,
