I don't know about the rest of you, but for me, Worship music helps me to be in tune with God. I know, that sounded corny. There is something about tuning into a radio station needing a pick me up, only to find the exact right song playing for what you need. I was looking back at music I've listened to through the years and I've found something interesting. When I look at what I listened to, I was very much affected in one form or another by what was going on in my life at that time and how I was growing or not growing spiritually.
Music reaches into my soul like nothing else seems to. There is this connection that I can't explain. It wakes me up, it helps me feel, it allows some form of release. Music helps me to pour out my feelings.
I am not a natural music talent in any form. I have managed to pick up a few things and pluck a string or two, or blow a note or two, I can even sing a little, but I am so far from being capable of anything good. That being said, when the right song is playing, it doesn't matter what I sound like, it just moves me. There are some songs that I just can't shake off and some that hit me so deep I can't even sing them. There are others that help me shout things to the rooftops.
Right now there are a lot of those rooftop songs, but one of them is below. What is your shout it to the rooftop song?
Psalm 147:7
Sing to the Lord with Thanksgiving; make music to our God on the harp.
