Psalm 108:1 A Song. A Psalm of David

(1.) My heart, O God, is steadfast; I will sing and make music with all my soul.

I love to sing to God. He is everything to me. When I am making melodies in my heart unto God, my soul rejoices in my Savior, Jesus Christ. I feel like I am standing right in front of Him; it is as if I have an outer body experience. I have been singing to God all of my life. I know I will always sing to Him for as long as I live. Even when I am resting, in my mind I can hear myself singing to God.

I remember on Sunday mornings when we would be practicing before we went to the choir stand to sing, as we sang the songs, I could see Jesus stand up with HIS arms open wide. It was so amazing! My spirit was so high I had to look down to see if my feet were still on the floor, because I felt like I was floating as I walked down the first row where I stood. Even as a child I felt that way whenever I would sing a solo. There are times when I just stay up all night long singing to God, writing music, and playing music on my keyboard. When my heart is full I sing to God. When I am sad, I sing to God, and when I dream sometimes I hear myself singing in my sleep.

Singing to God makes my heart happy. I forget about all of the things that makes me upset. My mind is clear, and as I sing I can hear Him speaking to my spirit. My heart is humbled before Him; it makes me feel like I am that little girl again just spreading her wings. I am talking about the wings of my voice. Whenever I think about what Jesus did for me, I can’t help but sing His praises. I can’t help but bless HIS name. I can’t help but lift HIM up more and more. Whenever I am reading the Word, I just may sing a tune or two quietly just for HIM to hear. It makes me smile from ear to ear.

I am so thankful for the gift of music, making music, writing music, playing music, it’s a beautiful thing. The world would be very dull if there were no music to brighten any day. Next time when it is quiet, and you’re alone, just sing to God, it will lift your spirit, and all of the worries will float away through song.
