Have you ever sat and wondered why music touches your heart? Is it the music itself or is the lyrics that causes you to respond? Is it because of the sound that forces you to move, feel, think, or remember? Words or songs linked together or separate are profound, exhilarating, emotional, exhausting, energetic, meaningful, scary, and even uncontrollable- causing you to feel a specific emotion, or to cause you to re-enter a place of pain, confusion, or the ecstasy of a memory....WOW! Music & Words= Songs....
As you listen the radio, ipod, or your play favorite CDs...which song speaks to your heart? if you are watching television or experiencing a musical or opera, which song cause a chill up your spine or is so disturbing you have to remove yourself from its space? Whether you can hear a note played or sing a tune, it, the words or songs effects your inner being....have you ever thought, why?
What is your life's "theme" song at the moment? If you never hear a note of music or if you never see the song performed, which lyrics means the most to your spirit? Which song or lyrics touches you in places that causes a tear to fall- allowing the reminders of the hurts to leak out?
Which songs speaks the words you wish to share with the one(s) you love the most? Which song or lyrics provides you the most comfort when you feel alone? Which song or lyrics brings you the greatest joy when you are sad, encourages your heart when you are disappointed, or brings out your brightest smile? Which song or lyrics perfectly says, "I am sorry" or "I love you"? Which song or lyrics gives you the energy to dance freely as if no one were watching?

“Imagine Me” by Kirk Franklin-Recently, during my quiet time, I have found my mind drifting to pleasant and unpleasant things that have occurred in my life. For the present, I’m in completely and utterly amazed at the things that are occurring, and I can’t wait for the next, next, and the next. The past-I often find that I’m not over some of the things that I thought I should be over. 98% of the time, I feel that I’m over the past hurts, but then something always seems to remind that I’m not and I have a few things to work through.
The song that provides me with comfort when I’m feeling sad and alone is “God’s Favor” by Donald Lawrence Just thinking about all the times that I have been told “no”, and God says “yes”, the times that others have given up on me, and God shows me over and over that he is not finished. Open My Heart seems to be the song that continues to be played during this snow time. The song reminds me that id I just open up my heart and allow Him and refocus myself on him and not the things that seem to cause me hurt.
The song that makes me dance freely when no one is watching is “The Best Is Yet to Come”(Donald Lawrence), there are times that I feel that I’m not sure what the best may be. But, I understand that if I give Him my best, I will receive an ever lasting peace that can’t be taken from me no matter what the past hurts may be.
Beautiful Spirit thank you for your response. You mentioned songs that encourage, comfort, and empower you and songs that changes your unhappiness into happiness and provides you peace, but what song(s) is the song that could actually be your voice to express what you think, feel, in your present day situations, your personal "theme"?
