And we, the worship leaders, as the Holy Spirit moves in us, are allowed to prepare the way. Nothing in Our Experience Is Like Music. Music is created by people, yet it also seems to flow from the hand of God in all of creation. Praying is not music, but music can become a prayer. Preaching and teaching are not music, yet music can preach and teach in ways that are hard to explain.
Many sounds resonate.
But music is made up of sounds that resonate in ways that affect us, even transform us, forever. And music, as we perform it, is seen. Our joy, our sense of thankfulness, our tears, our prayers, our praise, our posture and our ministry of presence are seen by the people of God and seekers in our midst. Our hearts are visible in our expressions as we ourselves worship. Lastly, music is shared, especially when inspired hymns and choruses are sung.
