Dearest God,

I am positive you want your people to sing with one voice.  As many voices become one, they can sing your song more beautifully.  Soloists voices can radiate with strength, sound, and soul. Yet, when more than one gathers to sing one song, how much more magnificent it is with harmonies and melodies not possible when just one person sings.

Our little church choir numbers swell in the summertime.  All those of us who vacation or live here in the summer are permitted to join the choral group.  As different ones return and the numbers increase by one or two, then three or four, it is such a joy to welcome their personality, musical talents, and unique offerings.

As we sang in rehearsal this evening I listened for the sound of one voice and I imagined what it would be like if all people sang together the same song of love and peace.

Teach us
your song
once again,
O Lord;
show us
the way
to blend
our voices together.
May your song
become our song
and so
bring peace
and joy
to the world.

Love, Andrea
