When In Our Music

"The best liturgical, musical, and relational moments are those when it all comes together - when we catch a glimpse of both the vastness of God and of our own smallness; when we sense the universality of God's salvation yet treasure our personal inheritance; when we feel more alive than ever before, yet, that it "matters not whether we live or die." Why do we settle for the dull and pedestrian when we are meant for so muc more? Because we must learn that there is so much more - taught by the Holy Spirit, encouraged by our leaders and convinced by our own experience and reflection"

Pray for me as I try to sort out what God intends me to do with what he has given.

When In Our Music God is Glorified by Fred Pratt Green

When in our music God is glorified
And adoration leaves no room for pride
It is as though the whole creation cried
Alleluia!

How often, making music, we have found
A new dimension in the world of sound
As worship moved us to a more profound
Alleluia!

So has the Church in liturgy and song
In faith and love through centuries of wrong
Borne witness to the truth in every tongue
Alleluia!

Let every instrument be tuned for praise!
Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sing always:
Alleluia! Amen!
