musical thoughts for the weekend

Music . . .

I associate music with just about everything . . .  I think I could do a life montage and have all kinds of music used, there is not much for music genres that I have not listened to at one point or another.

I grew up in the 70’s listening to my brother’s music making me a huge Beatles & Eagles fan.  Throw in some other bands from that era for a well-rounded experience.

In the 80’s I listened to some country and some 80’s rock (I’d have to return my child of the 80’s card if I didn’t know every word of every Madonna song – LOL)

I started listening to “Christian Rock” or “worship music” in the 90’s.

That is when I started listening to the lyrics. Of every song.

I love to sing.  I don’t care what it is, I sing commercial jingles, I just love to sing.

It’s the songs that I can’t sing without choking up a bit that I want to hear.

The songs that touch me and make me realize that I am here for a reason. 

I have a purpose.

And by golly, God loves me!

Amazing Grace – it IS indeed amazing grace that sees us through.

In the Garden – I may come to the garden alone, but He is always with me – always.

God’s Not Dead – He is indeed living in me!

Flawless – no matter the bumps, no matter the bruises, the crass has made you flawless

Potter’s Hand – I am clay – mold me into what You want me to be, Lord

Heart of Worship – it is all about Him, not me

It Is Well With My Soul – I am filled by Him, it is well with my soul

Diamonds – when the pressure is on He’s making diamonds

Give Me Your Eyes – we are supposed to be the body – we need to see things like He does

What a Friend We Have In Jesus – I’m so glad He is my friend!!

I could go on and on.

Music soothes my soul, and when it is music that praises my King, well, all that much better.

I am so lucky to be a member of an incredible church and part of their awesome worship team.  I get to sing with them in church this Sunday. If you don’t have a church home, you are welcome to come to mine.
