Lyrics

Sunlight streaking through tall, colored glass. / Children arriving after Sunday School Class. / Song books written a long time ago. / High ceilings for angels who save souls below. / / Chorus: / Then the voice in the choir catches my ear. / So strong yet so soothing, that's why I am here. / The sermon is shared to help me to pray. / But the voice in the choir steals me away. / / Not here too often, I moved to explore. / When mud and ice became a real chore. / Here, the candles are warming - a hug for the soul. / The cross makes me ponder the story so old. / / [Repeat Chorus] / / Bridge: / I've often wondered what the choir would bring / An escape and a spiritual high. / To treat the church to a special sound. / To share her music all around. / Her robe must have been hiding her wings. / And I think she just loved to sing. / / This is my last visit - we said our goodbyes. / Now, alone in the church with a tear in my eye. / I still hear the voice, a little less strong. / The time has come for her to move on. / So a tear and a smile for all that she gave. / A tear and a smile as I turn the next page. / / The voice in the choir catches my ear. / So strong yet so soothing, the notes are still clear. / Soon the service will start to celebrate her stay. / In my heart her voice will bring smiles every day. / / The voice in the choir. / The voice in the choir. / That beautiful voice in the choir.
