How Songs Can Be Prayers (reprinted in honor of a dear friend)

May 24th, 2012 by Beth

These are the examples I found on one CD of 17 songs.  Symphonic, classical music without lyrics often takes me to God—lifts me beyond the trappings of this world, becomes a virtual meditation.

Did someone once say music is the work of the divine?  Stop and consider: songs can be prayers and help you truly look at your life.

    Music is certainly one of the main things that can trigger one’s emotions. “What A Wonderful World” is a tune that has brightened many a wedding or brought a tired soul back up to speed. I have always noticed in films, how the music can set the mood, even more so than the images on the screen. Music goes deep inside of you……thanks for the insight, Beth, I am going to go listen to “In My Life” by the Beatles……..

    Thanks, Bill, perfect concept IN MY LIFE–getting into life and feeling it and being in it. The music works like a prayer, reverent and bringing one closer to the reasons that we are here. And you truly get that. Beth
