Dear God,

What do composers see or hear when they pen great hymns that have inspired for centuries?  As I continue to read Then Sings My Soul, I rise up in faith realizing how faith can inspire other people to faith.

Out of their own sense of holy faith, composers write from their gut.  They put pen to paper when they sense your holy presence touching them at their core.  They write about your almighty power, yet tender care.  They write what they know and experience in life.  Their hymns are not outdated.  They still speak about God, creator, helper, comforter, teacher, and friend.

Each day when I read one more story and sing one more song, I am so glad to know you and to know their God for they are one and the same.

Blessed God,
thank you
for the gifts
of faith
and music.
Thank you
for lyrics
that speak powerfully
to the
human soul.
Thank you
for inspiration
that captures
our attention
and grows
our faith.

Love, Andrea
