While searching around YouTube the other day for a song, I ran into a work by John Waller that caught my attention and quickly was added to my wall of favorite songs. 

If you are not one to enjoy this style of music, here are the lyrics to read:

The passion in this song, the hunger for more of God stirs my soul.  There are a few songs like this that really help draw me into the presence of God.  Much like the song I wrote about recently, “Sculpture of my heart” by Craig Smith.

Another song is “We Bow Down”.  The person that threw the images together for this one did a great job:

Then I move it along a bit with Paul Wilbur – Days of Elijah:

Back a week or two ago, I was looking for a good performance of one of my top five songs of all time, “How Great Thou Art”.  Digging around YouTube, I found it sung by Newsong.  It is hard to imagine I missed this one for these years.  Their performance is the best one I have every heard for this wonderful song and made me chase down many of the albums and now have a good collection of their music and truly enjoy them.  This song though is their best :)

Another one of their songs I really could feel the passion in is “Rescue”:

The words in this song really show a hunger. 

Music / Worship is a tool by which we prepare our hearts to come into the presence of God, by which we allow the Holy Spirit to invade our entire being.  Remember the passages in the Bible:

Col 3:16 ~ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Many people quote the first part of the passage “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;”, but most of the time do not include the rest which tells us HOW to be filled with the Spirit:

Eph 5:18-21 ~  And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

If you are a believe, Music of God should be a HUGE part of your walk.  Simply get by yourself, play the music and sing along, from deep within your heart not just singing words, but direct those words to God you would pray to Him.  As the title of this post, He, The Lord God Almighty will send you a Flood with streams of Living Water flowing from deep within you!
