“Words make you think. Music makes you feel. A song makes you feel a thought.” E.Y. Harburg

Music is what feelings sound like. Music doesn’t even require words to make an impression on me. It can powerfully set my mood or express my mood. It seems to me that mood alone without message can be just emotional bleeding. I want my soul’s blood to course through my veins with purpose not bleed all over the place. I love it when the words of a song match the music. It enables my whole heart, mind will and emotions to join in expression. It can be a song expressing delight or sorrow of glorious praise or deep regret. The point is that i want more than just to feel it, I want to believe it.

“Some days there won't be a song in your heart. Sing anyway.” Emory Austin

There are times when I sing because my heart is full of joy. Then
there are times I sing because I have no joy and want it. Sing to find
joy. Remind yourself in song of all that God is
to those who trust Him. I love the hymn, “Come thou
fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Your praise.” Sometimes
we need God to tune our heart because the cares of this world get our
heart out of tune. God loves to sing, find the tune by singing with
Him.

“Every song I’ll sing, I’ll sing for you.” John Denver- Leaving on a Jet Plane.

Singing is a language of the soul. Some things are better said in a song. This is so very true not only when we sing to express what is going on inside us, but also when we “need” something to go on inside us. Singing can nurture the soul as much as express it. Sometimes I sing to God. Other times I sing to myself about Him. Sometimes my song is for His pleasure. Sometimes it is for mine. I often feel the need to bathe myself in the comforting waters of some song written about His goodness and love.
