Music is...
An essence
it follows us,
haunts us,
it can be heard in the air and in nature.
It can express human emotion in a way words cannot express.
We relate to it, we emote with it.
It can build up types of emotions or it can break them down.
We create it,
we listen to it,
and we are touched by it.
It brings tears to the hardest of hearts
and is a path into many peoples lives.
Life to a soundtrack if you will...
It crosses cultures,
explodes boundaries, and creates innovation.
Music inspires.
You can play a song in twenty different regions of the world where they all speak different languages and they'll understand the mood portrayed.
The beat of the war drum, the sad melody of the broken heart, and the joyous cry of the discoverer of treasure.
Music is beautiful and God-glorifying.
Lyrics are not always God-glorifying and that is saddening...
How far we have strayed from intended path...
It brings pain to me.
Too easy, all too easy.
Yet, it is the calling of the redeemed, to glorify and honor the Lord
through talent, through a job well done, and through lyrics that please the ears of the most high.
We have been given so much
and yet too often we cast it down.
Music is beautiful, music is God glorifying, and music is worship to him who has saved us.
With lyrics that please the Lord on high we can reach the world.
Soli Deo Gloria
