Prayers in Song

Recently I've been writing a 20 page research paper for my worship foundations class on worship in the Bible. From doing so I've been introduced to the idea of the music form of worship as a prayer. This morning while I was in Chapel the worship was so beautiful and for the first time in a long time, with the new thinking, I just was able to have a awesome time with God singing my heart soul and mind out for Him in prayer that my own life might reflect His. 

Also, I've been reading the book of Psalms and if you haven't yet I recommend it.  These prayers are so beautiful and they are a magnificent display of God's work in us humans. They help me relate what I'm feeling and thinking to understand myself better and my relationship with God it is so cool. Tonight I read this,



Psalm 19:7-9 (New International Version)


 7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
       reviving the soul.
       The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
       making wise the simple.

 8 The precepts of the LORD are right,
       giving joy to the heart.
       The commands of the LORD are radiant,
       giving light to the eyes.

 9 The fear of the LORD is pure,
       enduring forever.
       The ordinances of the LORD are sure
       and altogether righteous.


I just admire the beauty of those words, not only in the form they are written but the meaning of them. How Mighty is the Most High God. <3
