Where Has the Music Gone?
Music is one of my favorite things. Music has always moved me. I am easily touched by great melodies and lyrics. My life has a rich history of music. I love music and what it has done in my life.
I learned early in life the importance of music. There was always a piano in the home and someone was always playing it. I learned to play five different instruments by a senior in high school. The double bass was my favorite and I still have the bass my parents bought for me while in high school.
I played in national honor orchestras, with members of the Fresno Philharmonic Orchestra, and various groups from 9th grade through my college career. I conducted and wrote music, ‘cut-records’, and traveled throughout the world playing music. It was a wonderful musical experience.
I have collected songs over the years that sparked revivals in America, theme songs that ‘brought down’ the Presence of God. Songs you no longer can find in either digital or other electronic & tape forms of recording.
However, today we rarely can find songs/music that brings heaven to earth. Too often I have had to turn the radio off because all the Christian stations are playing songs written for man’s purposes or for the most recent trends in music.
Today’s Christian music is far from the heart of the Father. It is not inspired by the Holy Spirit nor can be. The reasons behind the music are corrupt and not God-honoring. Once in a while, one finds a song that was birthed by Jesus and with the words honoring Jesus. Where has God’s music gone? Why are songwriters and musicians compromising the very structure God has placed within His power for inspirited music?
Songwriters and musicians—it is time to repent of the error of your ways. It is time for searching the heart of God for God’s tunes and God’s lyrics. God will judge you more harshly than others for leading people into false worship and praise.
The Wisdom of God has spoken…Find the music that Jesus is singing in heaven!
