Default Quilting a panel of words

I am quilting a wall hanging made using a panel with the lyrics of Amazing Grace printed on it. They are written as a poem type thing, not all randomly placed . (not sure it is okay to post a picture.) I will boarder it with coordinating fabric. Any ideas how to quilt it? I will use my Tiara sit-down quilter.
Pictures/drawings are most welcome! Thanks for any and all ideas.

Terry is this from a kit? A friend gave me an Amazing Grace panel in a kit. It made up beautifully. Another friend quilted a musical score in the border which was amazing. She did "spirals, curlicues, etc." between the lines of writing. It came out looking great.

The curly-cues are what I would have said, too....something wide and musical looking.....

Yes I bought it as a kit that I think the quilt shop put together....on my trip to Berlin, Ohio and surroundings this fall.
Thank you for the ideas, Would you try to not do the spirals and curlicues over the words? There really isn't much space between the words at all.

I would probably outline the words to highlight them and then do a fairly dense background filler so the words would stand out.

On mine she didn't go between the words. She just went between the lines of script. It was plenty of quilting. I just love this kit.

yes that is similar to the kit but I can't see how it was quilted. Thanks for finding it.The one I bought is simpler, just two boarders. I did embroider "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord...Ps 100" on the bottom.
Cats8, might you be able to post a picture of the one you have?
