Dear God,

How can I keep from singing?  The line from the song reminded me to sing.  Sing when I am celebrating. Sing when I experience the depths of faith.  Sing when I am weeping and lonely.  Sing when I am filled with joy.  Sing when I am frustrated and looking for answers.  Sing when I witness oppression and need to pray for others.  Sing when I am troubled.  Sing when I need hope and peace.  Sing when an insight comes to me. Sing when I receive a blessing.  Sing when I am lost.  Sing when someone experiences a miracle.  Sing when I don't know how to pray.  Sing when an unexpected grace comes my way.  Sing when I want to say thank you.  Sing when I am grumpy, stingy, or resentful.  Sing when I need to humble myself.  Sing when I am full up with sin.  Sing when forgiveness comes my way.  Sing when I want to bless you or others.  Sing just because.

Thank you
for your song,
O Lord.
What a joy
it is
to sing it.
Forgive me
when I
forget to sing
or when
I refuse
to sing.
Let your song
always be
on my lips
so I
can instantaneously sing.
Thank you.

Love, Andrea
