"Music is what feelings sound like"

I need words
As wide as sky
I need language large as
This longing inside
And I need a voice
Bigger than mine
And I need a song to sing You
That I've yet to find
I need You

Such emotion.
Such understanding.
How does an instrument know the language of my soul?
How can an instrument be a pathway for God to speak and for me to praise Him?

I even enjoy the word we give it.
.music
The word passes through mouths like hands touching silk for the first time.
.music

An escape.
An art.
The art of creating feelings from what would be silence.
One of our best means of expressing to God our desire to worship him.

We condense our feelings into a time frame.
.song
At times we long for a certain song to be endless.
We want the depth of our soul to be touched forever.

The Lord is our great song.
He spreads across our greatest weaknesses and provides strength.
He cures what we think is beyond saving.
God is the music our soul desires.

Glimpses of heaven can be found in music.
The light breaks into this empty place and delivers hope.
Imagine eternity with God.
Hope--found in its core being.

Love--in spite of my flaws.
In spite of ALL of my flaws.
So much love that he died, so that I don't have to.
My hope is built on nothing less.

Thank you God for music.
Let music glorify you.
Speak to us through it.
Thank for giving us another way to connect with you.
