SELAH In the court of David the king, There was many that could sing, They would sing their songs, All the day and night long, They had a glorious job, Singing praises to the one and only god, Although they are in this tale, It is not about them that I wish to tell, For this story is about a young child, That was meek and mild, That came to listen to the choir everyday, With hopes that one day they would ask him to stay, He knew they would not because of the songs he had not sung, For you see he could not sing because he had no tongue, He was born that way, And when he had something to say, He had to write it on papyrus or in the sand, With hopes that who ever read it would understand, All this did not stop him from coming, And all day long he would sit still listening, He knew all the songs by heart, And he knew when the songs should stop or start, Well he knew that sometimes the musicians would get carried away, And would not change the beat in the proper way, Leaving the singer's in a agitated state, For it threw them off if the change of beat was late, This led to confusion, When they did not work in union, Well selah got to the point, He could not take it anymore, So when the beat of the song was to change he stomped on the floor, Each time that selah would do this the music director would make him go away, But he came back day after day, The music director was about two ban him from coming, When King David noticed something, For god had put it in his mind, If you watched selah you will find, The only time selah stomped the floor was when the beat was wrong, He was quiet through the rest of the song, So when the music director was about to toss selah out, King David stopped him and told the director what the foot stomping was about , Well from that very hour, Selah was made a member of the choir, He was given a gong, And he rang it each time the beat changed in the song, For that day on there was no more confusion, And if you closed your eyes while listening you would get the illusion, You were listening, To the angels playing music and singing, Well David decided to write his songs down, When it came to the beat changes he found, If he put selahs name there, The musicians knew that the beat was to change there, Well this was selahs finest hour, For not only was he a important member the choir, But when he died and went to Glory, He knew that his name would be a part of history, "SELAH"
