When My Last Song Is Sung
A Musical Journey of Gratitude: When My Last Song Is Sung by Cathy Viljoen
Lyrics
When my last song is sung
Expressing the anticipation of the final song in one's life.
And my life's work is done
Reflecting on a completed life's work.
And my old faithful guitar loses tone
Noting the aging or deterioration of a beloved guitar.
You won't find me troubled then
Assuring that there will be no trouble at the end of life.
Wishing I could sing again
Rejecting the desire to sing again, signaling contentment.
When my last song is sung
Reiteration of the impending final song and departure.
I'll be gone
Emphasizing the departure or passing away.
Let me sing a song for Jesus every day (Every day)
Expressing the desire to sing daily for Jesus.
'Cause He's the one who guides me every step of the way
Acknowledging Jesus as a guiding force in life.
He's my soul inspiration and the one who guides my pen
Describing Jesus as a source of inspiration and guidance for creativity.
Let that last song I sing be for Him
Dedicating the last song to Jesus.
What a gift the Lord has shared
Gratitude for the gift from the Lord.
With someone who never cared
Recognition of past indifference or lack of appreciation.
Claiming every note I'd written for my own
Acknowledging previous claims to authorship of one's work.
And before it comes my time
Acknowledging a sense of timing before the end of life.
There's a song of thanks in line
Expressing gratitude before meeting the Lord.
Before my Lord and Saviour calls me home
Anticipating the call of the Lord and Saviour.
Let me sing a song for Jesus every day (Every day)
Repetition of the desire to sing daily for Jesus.
'Cause He's the one who guides me every step of the way
Reiterating Jesus as the guiding force in daily life.
He's my soul inspiration and the one who guides my pen
Reaffirming Jesus as the inspiration and guide for creative endeavors.
Let that last song I sing be for Him
Reiterating the dedication of the final song to Jesus.
Let me sing a song for Jesus every day (Every day)
Repetition of the desire to sing daily for Jesus.
'Cause He's the one who guides me every step of the way
Reiterating Jesus as the guiding force in daily life.
He's my soul inspiration and the one who guides my pen
Reaffirming Jesus as the inspiration and guide for creative endeavors.
Let that last song I sing be for Him
Reiterating the dedication of the final song to Jesus.
Let that last song I sing be for Him
Final repetition and emphasis on dedicating the last song to Jesus.
