Dissonance vs. Light

Dissonance is awful

We are prone to fight

But, the music of the gospel

Introduces light

Displace the darkness

And introduce light

Dissonance grows less

When we are Christ-like!

Like a child on a violin

The lessons grow less painful

Don't give up, you'll grow within

And your heart strings will be grateful

The Music of the Gospel

"Dissonance in the home is like darkness in a room. … We must displace the darkness by introducing light."
