This is something I’ve been thinking about for a long time, years back. I just never put it into words that would express what I feel. I realize this is most likely going to sound quite strange, I never heard anybody talk about music that way. I am going to talk specifically about worship songs. This is what I feel. I will try to describe.
I believe worship songs are alive. Whoever wrote them put a bit of his soul into them, there is an annointing too, something that was Spirit led. They are full of joy, thankfulness, love, admiration, adoration and awe, some have maybe a touch of sadness or questions as we go through different things in life. It’s something that is heart to heart, men to God, yet God inspired and Spirit led, a mystery. There is something about music that touches people right on the inside, inspires them, opens up their heart to God. Something beautiful, deep, that doesn’t need explaining, that can bring people into worshiping together, can lift them up. Something very powerful that God designed. Sommething that touches the strings of our heart. And that is also a big reason why we need to be careful what kind of songs we listen to.
