Dearest God,

You take one single soul, a troubled soul open to your spirit and to that soul you give a poem, a poem that inspires, gives relief, and builds faith.  With your power, grace, and love you take that one poem and turn it into music that inspires millions across the ages.

Every time I read another story from Then Sings My Soul, I think about faith and how your power inspires the human mind, spirit, and soul.  I reflect upon the power of a single song to uproot fear, anxiety, and despair.  I imagine the church singing together the great hymns of faith and how those hymns build communities of faith who go out and make a difference in the lives of many.  I think of how it changes one, then two, and more.

Your merciful power is great, Almighty God.  You touch one soul and that single touch can bless so many.

How blessed
we are
to be yours,
Gracious God.
You touch
and inspire us.
You sing
songs of faith
to us
and then
you challenge us
to sing
for others.
You make us new.
You restore us.
You bless us
beyond imagination.
Thank you,
Blessed Father,
thank you.

Love, Andrea
