Music - It is such a big part of life and a major part of mine. I can't quitely remember the age that I started singing, but can remember recording myself on my little tape recorder around the age of 10. I have done so much research on music and worship. God loves for us to worship Him. John 4:24 says: "God is a Spirit and they that worshi
p him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Sometimes after I sing, I think, "Did I prepare my heart before I stood before these people; did they receive a blessing through the words I sang or was my heart not what it should be and it showed forth in the song." As I watch Haitians during worship service in our church, it amazes me how they worship with all they have. Eyes closed, hands raised, voices lifted; praising HIM with
all their heart, soul, and mind. These people know that the little they have, they have because God provided them with it. Our comforts and riches, sometimes, blind us to true worship and adoration for the ONE who provided and blessed us with those co
mforts and riches. As I use the talent that God has given me, I pray that my heart is right and my thoughts are truly on the words that I sing.

Grace Falling Down
Verse 1
Guilty and Broken
No hope could be seen
Life ruined by weights
Of sin and of shame
Then through the clouds
Mercy poured down like rain
Chorus
Grace falling down
Grace falling down
Let your grace fall down
On a sinner condenmed
And let your blood that flowed free
Come and wash over me
And let your grace fall down
And let your grace fall down
Verse 2
Now hope and peace
They brighten my life
No struggle within
Not burdened with strife
I'm soaked in your mercy
I'm forgiven and free
This is the reason we sing, this is the reason we give him our worship. He poured out his grace and mercy on us, and in return; we can use our voices in praise to Him.
I am not a person of eloquent speaking; I am not the greatest blogger, but as I sat here this evening, I just wanted to share a little of my heart. I love my family, but am not arts and craftsy; I really don't have that many talents, but God has given me a voice and I will glorify Him with the talent of song.
