Story behind the song
This song was written for a choir director that gave all she had to bring her joy and love of music and God's word to the congregation. She dedicated 30 plus yrs. to her passion and now at the age of 81 she has decided to retire. The church congregation the choir members and all those that have known her and listened to her choir will miss her as the director. I know some especially myself will remember her always.
I love you Mom.
Lyrics
ROBES OF SATIN
One by one in robes of satin each one takes a chair.
They love to sing and share God’s glory, showing God they care.
Voices fill this hallowed hall with praises ringing clear.
The words of Christ put into song for all of us to hear.
Like the sound of Angels from above Alleluias echoing.
Alleluia Alleluia
Alleluia Alleluia
The choir leaders’ time has come to walk another path.
The trail she blazed will carry on in the lives she touched with song.
For years pure passion fueled her flames and though the fire burns deep inside.
This weary candle, lets go her flame.
Alleluia Alleluia
Alleluia Alleluia
Sunday morning once again and the service starts with prayer.
One by one in robes of satin each one takes a chair.
With joy and sadness in their voice, they sing out loud and clear.
Like the sound of Angels from above, Alleluias for all to hear.
Alleluia Alleluia
Alleluia Alleluia
