For those of you reading this blog who aren't a part of my class on media, Dr. Coyne's sister came and sang this version "More Holiness Give Me" during class today. As I listened, I wrote in my notes that I needed to blog about this song. Here's why.
Music, for me, is one of my favorite forms of expression. I find myself humming songs as I do the dishes, when I'm upset, or when I am in a particularly good mood. I've played the piano since I was six years old and always found that playing the piano was my way of relaxing or dealing with emotions. I love music.
This song brings a glimmer of hope into my life. Honestly, today was a pretty rough day, and as I listened to this song in class, my eyes teared up. I felt hope. I felt peace. I felt that everything would be okay. It expressed the plea of my heart to become more holy, to change myself, to become what the Lord would have me become.
There are songs that do that--that help you realize that even though you may feel like a failure at times (and thus dark) there is hope (or a twinkling star) in the future--and this is one of them for me.
I love this song too!! Every time I hear this song it makes me feel happy!
ReplyDeleteI find myself humming certain hymns or singing a hymn in my head, especially when I have had a particularly bad day. They definitely have the power to give you cheer and hope to carry on. I hope things are going better.....You're awesome!
