You know what's great about music? It makes communication easier. I can be so tongue tied when I want to speak to God, but then I'll remember a song and suddenly it's a little easier to tell Him what I'm trying to say. Most of the poetry I've written that's waiting to be put to a melody are just prayers. That's it. And I'm so thankful that so many other people have been able to put their prayers to music. So that when I go through times like these, where the words to express the jumbled, foggy, incoherent thoughts sloshing around in my brain just won't form, I can join in a musical prayer that someone else has brought as an offering to God, and He in turn brought the increase-a heart wanting to be pruned and purified and brought to deeper intimacy with Him.
