Music That Moves


Music comes in different forms. There are songs that take us back to moments or chapters in our lives and reawakens memories and feelings. Some songs you can't listen to without belting out at the top of your lungs, the ones that have become an anthem of sorts in your life. There's the kind of music that you can put on while you get lost in your own thoughts, or the kind that you put on to match your mood. And who can forget the kind of music that demands that you instantly start to jam out, whether it's blaring it in the car while you're on a road trip or dancing like a maniac in your kitchen while you're putting dishes away.

The best kind of music, if you ask me, is the kind that makes you stop and think when you're done letting every part of it wash over you.

A few weeks ago at a church in Florida a singer preceded the message with this song. I was left stunned by the lyrics and how they speak to how many feelings that we go through sometimes as we let ourselves focus on the ways we are unworthy of the  unshakable love of God.  It speaks to the way we sometimes judge others before trying to reflect this love. Basically it captures the ways we lose sight of the fact that the love is a gift.

I'll post the video so you can hear it for yourself. If you'd rather read the lyrics than listen, look below the video for a link. Whichever way you chose, please take time to let the words sink in.
