Yesterday morning at my church, Highland Presbyterian Church, one of our several children's choirs sang a beautiful anthem with very touching words. I wanted to share these with you:
A child, most eager to belong, observed an elder lost in song. She asked a timeless thing: "Please tell me now, why do you sing?" "Because we can," the elder said, "to know that we're alive, not dead, to feel that God is near, to free us from the things we fear. A song unites us with our past, reminds us of the truths that last. And now, the most profound: God's love is working in the sound."
The child in us still wants to know why tunes can cause our hearts to grow. In truth, we cannot say, and so, with humble hearts we pray. Creator God, conduct each phrase, inspire the beat, renew our praise so singing in this place
reflects your rich, transforming grace.
Have a wonderful week!
