Music makes me feel funny. It makes me feel so good. It is the only thing that has ever been able to heal me. The only thing that can reach into the furthest depths of my soul. It's like I'm a different person when I hear it. Not all songs "work." It's almost like there's a formula, made of only lyric and melody. If both are marvelous and pristine...I literally become weak. My heart skips, and I lose my breath. The feeling is so sweet and deep and indescribable, yet it makes me want something, though until now I haven't been able to tell what.
God created music. He created each note and the science of the way they fit together. Music is beautiful, and so is God. And I believe that what music evokes in me is a strong desire to know the beauty that is His. To really understand and experience it, not just to see it or admire it. There are two things on this earth that, to me, will ever be the closest to the marvelous allure that belongs to God. One is music, the other love. Things so delicate, intricate, fair, that I almost can't even take it. So beautiful it hurts.
I never feel closer to my God than when I am listening to melodies and harmonies and sound that blend to create beauty. Listen and tell me you can't taste Him.
