So I read an article a while back that crowned "Kung-Fu Fighting" by The Village People as the song that was "Most Likely to Get Stuck in Your Head." Yep, I can definitely see that. I can hear it too...
Dang it, there it goes.
Over the past couple of weeks, I have noticed the impact that music has on my life. There are songs that express how I feel down to the letter, and when I can't find one, I'll write one. On my Xanga (visit it here), I put down a list of ten songs that "give my soul wings." As the week went on, I realized that the list was hideously incomplete. However, I won't try to remedy that here.
Lucky you.
But somehow... Music has a way of defining how we feel, lifting us up, describing our lives, and capturing the moment far better than we could do ourselves. Music is powerful.
So why? I really have no idea... All I know is that at certain moments, certain songs sum up everything that matters. They minister to me... And I just can't put my finger on exactly what does it.
However, in that, it makes total sense why we worship God through song. Songs can express life, love, adoration, sadness, longing, and many other things. Often more powerfully than words alone could.
Sometimes I flip on the radio and a song comes on that lifts me up and makes the day better... I know this is kinda weird, but hear me out.
If songs affect us, God's creation, in such a way... Can we even begin to imagine how songs (not necessarily of praise and worship, but just music in general) affect God? How we, as created and loved beings, can touch the heart of God through something so simple, profound, wonderful, and mysterious as music?
Dang. I think my head just exploded.
Thoughts?
