Soul Songs

Popping in a music CD is just old-school, isn’t it?  Maybe so, but the stress involved in choosing from  thousands of tunes on an mp3 player is anything but  relaxing to me. Old-school isn’t so bad!

 

The heart of man must sing: the birth of a baby, the beauty of a sunset, safe passage home, a body healed. There’s a time for rejoicing and the soul of God's greatest creation must rejoice. "Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul." (Psalm 146:1) "Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy Name." (Psalm 103:1) When the joy is so great, so intense, so urgent -- there is never enough music, never enough lips, never enough words, never enough songs, never enough tongues, never enough hands to raise. The soul grapples for enough of whatever available to praise and worship Father, Creator, Savior, Great Physician. Yes, the soul must sing!
