I think songs are very important and powerful. Cox the songs we listen to are actually us acknowledging with the feeling/ phase in life that the singer is trying to show. and of cox, the place of agreement is the place of power. positive songs bring positive power, and negative songs bring negative power. songs are also actually words that the lyricist wants to say to someone, but it's sung instead of spoken. ever had the feeling of hearing a familiar song and all of a sudden a certain emotion or memory comes into you? I'm a person who often associates songs to incidents/ people/ events in my life. Some songs bring bad memories, bondage, hurts, regret. But i thank God that most of it now brings happiness, life, joy, hope, love, healing, peace, rest...
well, maybe that's why i'm a worship addict. haha. there's this place of rest when one is lost in worship. and every time when i'm there, i always wanna bring someone along. actually i dont really know to describe this. You know it's like when you're filled with emotions/ memories when you're lost in a song, and how you wish somebody or that someone will understand? it's kind of the same except that there's this drawing power to this indescribable love in worship and one can like stay in there for hours and hours. and just like any song, anyone who's been there will wish that somebody will experience the same feeling they're experiencing.
i think songs are created by God for us to express our emotions. like when one is in love, they listen to love songs. and when one is sad, they listen to sad songs. and when they listen to it or sing along with it, somehow the people around them can also feel their emotions. I guess worship too is like that. that's why i never believed in emotionless worship. lifting up hands, singing out loud, kneeling, clapping they're not mere actions but they are the key into that secret room where we can find rest and peace and joy and so much more. I thank God that i fell in love with worship. cox my christian life, my entire life, would be meaningless without it. just singing. listening.waiting.
Psalms 27:13-14
13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
