I'm going to sing during worship on Sunday....One of my favorite Christmas songs...Breath of Heaven written & sung by Amy Grant. I love this song not just because it's a song that fits comfortably in my range, and the melody is lovely...
I love the song because of the lyrics and the description of a prayer from Mary..."Breath of heaven hold me together, be forever near me..." How often do we all pray that prayer? For God to be closer to us because we might be frightened or in a pit of deep grief...
"Do you wonder as you watch my face if a wiser one should have had my place?" As we have all been called by God for one thing or another-- some as pastors, some as teachers, some as doctors, some as warehouse managers....Don't we all have moments of doubt if we are the right person for whatever task it is? And even if it's not a profession, but a mission project or opportunity...Don't we all feel inadequate at times?
I heard a quote once, "Music is said to be the speech of angels because nothing else sounds as sweet." There are times when a song describes my being and my spirit in ways that words just don't seem to be adequate. I love it when I can listen to a song and go, "That's what I'm saying!" or a song just sings my soul in ways that I didn't even know existed.
What are some of your soul songs?
