"The best imagery [for God] is that which is capable of being sung. Next to silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible mystery is music."

W. Paul Jones

You didn't think I would just put one video with a quote about music did you?  Those of you who know me well, know that I love my music, especially praise music.  I like some secular music too, mostly C&W and U2, but it doesn't speak to my soul the way that Contemporary Christian music does.  I can be having a rough day and a familiar song will seep into my consciousness and I will start to hum and before you know it I am singing out loud without even realizing it.  This is a constant embarrassment to my teen and tween children.  What a lame mom they are saddled with!  But I can't keep my heart from singing praises to my Lord.  It just feels good and right to me.

Life would be too quiet without beautiful music.

I know exactly what you mean!  Sometimes when I'm feeling overwhelmed, I just cry out "God, give me a song!" and He always puts one in my head.

I love the line in U2's Mysterious Ways about getting on your knees...
