Christian MusicPraise god!

I've played all types of music and ended up in a band that played the blues for 15 years. But as I've grown older, I've become attached to Christian music. The words to the songs are so spot on, that it makes me wish I could have written them.

     Zach Williams song "Rescue story", is awesome, telling about how God rescued him from a life of drugs and drinking. He also wrote another great one called "Fear is a liar". He sings how the devil tries to put fear in our minds and in our hearts, when the truth is, he is the father of all lies, making Fear being a liar. I got chills when I heard him perform his songs. I closed my eyes and wished the moment would never end. Danny Gokey is another Christian singer. He sings a song called "Tell your heart To beat again". It tells of the loss of his sweet young wife who died and how there must have been a time when he didn't want to live either because of it. It makes you really realize how important it is to rely on Jesus to help you feel human again after a tragedy. There is a group called "MercyMe" that has a song  "I can only imagine".  It sounds like an anthem to his father after wrestling with years of unforgiveness and finally forgiving him, and in Bart Miller's voice, you can tell he forgave.

     My heart feels full listening to the sound and the words of each musician who tells their story, usually a true life story, and how wonderful God is in each redemptive line. How so many people have struggles or are struggling until they find the light and peace of Jesus. God is so good. How many chances He always gives us. Oh! If only the whole world would turn to Him for consolation. If only I could always come to him immediately when I feel lost or confused or like I don't know what to do.

     Christian music brings me back to God's loving arms. It fillls me with hope and releases me from the chains I've put myself in. It lifts me up from my knees and gives me courage to stand and go on. I don't even care who sees me when I'm driving in my car, blasting the radio as loud as I can, with a smile on my face singing their words.  Christian Music soothes my soul to the point of salvation's hope and helps me look at things in a different perspective. Praise God! and God's blessings to all the artists that proclaim the GOOD NEWS that Jesus saves!

     Thank you God, for the talents you bestow on your children. Like Zach Williams sings, " a little more like Jesus, a little less like me".........

     Long live Christian music!
