The birds had hushed their singing and there was quiet in the land.
I said'"Little Bird, what's goin' on?"
He said,"don't ya know?"
It's in honor of the Guitar Man."
"You should've seen the love on Jesus' face as He took him by the hand.
He said,'It's time to go for we've things to do.
So grab ahold, Mr. Guitar Man.'
It was but an instant that I heard the cheers go round.
I listened close for I heard still another sound."
"It was a different song I heard them start to play.
It was so awesome when I heard the Master say,
'Guitar Man, there's your chair and that guitar was made just for you.
Its strings are of the finest gold.
I hope it'll do.'
I watched as he picked it up so carefully for he mustn't let it fall.
He started to caress the stings.
It was the sweetest sound of all."
"Thanks, Little Bird, for sharing that precious story."
He said, "Oh yeah,
there's one more thing I heard Jesus say as they went up in glory."
"He said, 'Mr. Guitar Man, I've heard you play so I've a favor to ask of you.
Would you sit for a while and play for Me those songs?
Show Me what you can do'.
"That Mr. Guitar Man, he just smiled from ear to ear as he said, 'I'd be glad to.
Yes Sir, Jesus, I sure will.
I've always played my songs just for You.
So it won't be noin' new.'
And away they flew!"
