As I was mixing recorded audio tracks together the other day,
it dawned on me how a perfectly unmelodious voice can sound
good to God (this was not an issue I was dealing with, just something that occurred to me).
When we praise, no matter how good or bad
our physical voice is, the music made by our spirit
during times of worship is a perfect structured construct
of music as God created it. Our own voice lifts up with this,
but in the perfection of worship, our heart all but drowns out
the temporal sequences of notes and silence
that we can physically create.
So don't let unimposed, bad, or great vocals bother you
- worship along, using the vocals if you need to,
but worship with your spirit and your heart. Let not
perception at your ears interfere with hearing heaven tear
open and our King come down, glory rolling out and around
in floods, and wonder blowing like moist wind in from a shoreline
after you have hiked for hours across sand rock and cactus
until you come up the last hill and see the ocean before you
and feel its kiss in the breeze at your skin.
