The Willow
by Frances Drost

Album: I Still Believe

I won't hang my harp upon the willow
I'll keep praising You as long as I have breath
Though the enemy will try to take the music
I won't hang my harp upon the willow

The harp is a symbol of music David used to praise His God
In times of battle it brought victory
In distress it brought song
So like David in the days of old
I will pick up my harp and sing
And I will praise You Lord
In spite of every troublesome thing

In the midst of trying times
When the load seems hard to bear
There's temptation to cease to praise Him
And hang my harp in despair
And the enemy comes to mock me
Saying "Play me another song"
And I pick up my harp and sing a song of victory

And I will cast my cares upon my Savior
For He cares for me like no one ever has
And I will sing a song of praise unto my Jesus
'Cause I won't hang my harp upon the willow
